Level 2B liquid assets are those of lower liquidity quality, compared with Level 2A.
Used, especially in the UK, to refer to equity and bail-in-able long term debt of banks that can be written down in case of financial distress. It includes both equity and bail-in-able long-term debt.




Level 2B liquid assets are subject to correspondingly greater haircuts of 25% to 50% when included in the computation of total High Quality Liquid Assets (HQLAs), compared with Level 2A.
The great majority of bank capital in future must be PLAC, in contrast with Secondary Loss Absorbing Capital (SLAC).
