🔥 **BREAKING: FDIC Eases Capital Rules for U.S. Banks**
The **Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)** has announced new rules **relaxing capital requirements** for U.S. banks, signaling potential increased liquidity in the financial system.
* **Enhanced Supplementary Leverage Ratio (eSLR):** Large, globally systemic banks will now need to hold **less capital against low-risk assets** like U.S. Treasuries, easing regulatory pressure and potentially supporting more lending and investment.
* **Community Bank Leverage Ratio:** Smaller banks will benefit from a **lower leverage ratio**, allowing them to optimize capital management and support local lending.
These adjustments are seen as a move to **strengthen economic growth while maintaining financial stability**, giving banks more flexibility in managing low-risk assets.
