(PLAC).

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.


The great majority of bank capital in future must be PLAC, in contrast with Secondary Loss Absorbing Capital (SLAC).


PLAC is sometimes expressed as Primary Loss Absorbing Capacity.
