WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The Federal Reserve announced Friday that it was delaying for 18 months a new rule limiting how much exposure the U.S. operations of foreign banks can have to a single counterparty.
The rule will now take effect by July 1, 2021, giving foreign jurisdictions more time to establish similar requirements that foreign banks could opt to follow instead. The Fed previously proposed delaying this part of the rule in November.
