英國為黃金清算銀行豁免巴塞爾協議 III 規則

Peter Hobson, July 10, 2021
 
LONDON, July 10 (Reuters) - Banks clearing gold trades in London can apply for an exemption from tighter capital rules due in January 2022, a British regulator said on Friday, removing what some said was a threat to the functioning of the market.
倫敦 (路透) 7 月 10 日 - 一家英國監管機構週五表示,在倫敦清算黃金交易的銀行可以申請豁免於 2022 年 1 月到期的更嚴格的資本規則,消除一些人所說的對市場運作的威脅。
 
London is the world's biggest physical precious metals trading hub. Its clearing system, operated by a handful of large banks with access to metal in vaults - JPMorgan (JPM.N), HSBC (HSBA.L), ICBC Standard (601398.SS), (SBKJ.J) and UBS (UBSG.S) - settles gold transactions worth around $30 billion a day.
倫敦是全球最大的貴金屬實物交易中心。其清算系統由少數可以使用金庫中的金屬的大型銀行運營 - 摩根大通 (JPM.N)、匯豐銀行 (HSBA.L)、工銀標準 (601398.SS)、(SBKJ.J) 和瑞銀 (UBSG. S) - 每天結算價值約 300 億美元的黃金交易。
 
The upcoming rules, known as the net stable funding ratio (NSFR), are part of Basel III regulations designed to make banks more stable and prevent a repeat of the financial crisis of 2008-09.
即將出台的規則,稱為淨穩定資金比率 (NSFR),是巴塞爾協議 III 規定的一部分,旨在使銀行更加穩定並防止 2008-09 年金融危機重演。
 
The rules treat physically traded gold like any other commodity, requiring banks to hold more cash to match their gold exposure as a buffer against adverse price moves.
該規則將實體黃金交易比照其他大宗商品交易,要求銀行持有更多現金以匹配其黃金敞口,以緩沖不利的價格波動。
 
The London Bullion Market Association (LBMA), an industry body, has lobbied against them, saying they are unnecessary and could force some banks – including clearing banks - to stop trading.
行業機構倫敦金銀市場協會 (LBMA) 遊說反對它們,稱它們是不必要的,可能會迫使一些銀行——包括清算銀行——停止交易。
 
Following a consultation, the Bank of England's Prudential Regulatory Authority (PRA) said on Friday it had "decided to amend its approach to precious metal holdings related to deposit-taking and clearing activities."
經過磋商,英格蘭銀行審慎監管局 (PRA) 週五表示,它“決定修改與存款和清算活動相關的貴金屬持有方法”。
 
It said it had introduced an "interdependent precious metals permission" which would reduce the size of the required capital buffer.
它表示已引入“相互依賴的貴金屬許可”,這將減少所需的資本緩衝規模。
 
"This is one of the key points that what we've been asking for all these years," said Sakhila Mirza, the LBMA's chief counsel. "Clearing will be exempt."
LBMA 的首席法律顧問 Sakhila Mirza 說:“這是我們這些年來一直要求的關鍵點之一。” “清算將免除。”
 
The PRA said it would not classify gold as a high-quality liquid asset, which would have freed other trades such as precious metals loans and leases from the high capital requirement.
英格蘭銀行審慎監管局 (PRA)表示,它不會將黃金歸類為高質量的流動資產,這將使貴金屬貸款和租賃等其他行業免於高資本要求。
 
The LBMA says gold is liquid enough not to need an additional liquidity buffer for clearing and settlement and short-term transactions.
LBMA 表示,黃金具有足夠的流動性,不需要額外的流動性緩衝來進行清算和結算以及短期交易。
 
JPMorgan and HSBC declined to comment. ICBC Standard did not immediately respond late on Friday.
摩根大通和匯豐銀行拒絕置評。週五晚些時候,工銀標準沒有立即做出回應。
 
A spokesperson for UBS said: "UBS welcomes the PRA's decision, which supports stability in bullion cleaning and avoids disruption to the London market."
瑞銀的一位發言人表示:“瑞銀對 PRA 的決定表示歡迎,該決定支持金銀清潔的穩定性並避免對倫敦市場的干擾。”
