| | | More broadly, direct borrowings by an individual country. |
| The leverage ratio is the long term capital ratio for banks by which their Tier 1 capital should in due course be at least 5% of their assets.
| |
| | |
| This will generally be that their shareholders funds will be >=5% of their loans although the definitions may be subject to domestic practices.
| |
| | |
| | |
| Domestic regulators can set higher ratios and the USA has set higher ratios for eight Systemically Important Financial Institutions (SIFIs) than for non-SIFIs.
| |
| | |
| This requirement is intended to be implemented progressively by 1 January 2019.
| |
| | |
| | |
| The initial minimum Basel III requirement was set at 3%, for periods to the end of 2016.

| '''Leverage Ratio Exposure'''
| |
| | |
| The [[Leverage Ratio Exposure]] (LRE) - for the purposes of calculating the Leverage Ratio - includes certain other risk exposures, in addition to on-balance sheet assets.
