Amendment: Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 on leverage ratio

This procedure updates the rules regarding the leverage ratio for credit institutions. The leverage ratio acts as a non-risk-based safety net, ensuring that banks maintain a minimum amount of capital relative to their total exposure to prevent them from building up excessive debt.

These changes primarily affect banks and financial institutions across the EU. It ensures more consistent financial supervision and strengthens the stability of the banking sector by refining how leverage is calculated.
