France Scraps Bank Capital Rule for Indebted Firms as Risks Ease
France will ease some capital requirements for its largest banks on exposure to highly-indebted companies, after regulators said lenders face lower risk than they did two years ago.
The French High Council for Financial Stability said in a statement that it would scrap the measure, which had required banks to implement a buffer equivalent to 3% of the relevant exposures if those assets surpassed 5% of their equity.
