• Resumen

  • The article warns about the potential of the U.S. Federal Reserve's enhanced supplementary leverage ratio (ESLR) to trigger the eight largest banks in the country to add increased risk to their asset portfolios. Among the banks affected by the enhanced provisions are JPMorgan Chase, Citigoup, and Bank of America. An estimate by the Federal Reserve of the amount of capital needed to be raised by banks as a result of the ESLR is indicated.
