Bill overview
The Options Market Stability Act of 2019 aims to improve how banks calculate the risk associated with derivatives contracts traded through central clearinghouses. Specifically, it directs the Federal Reserve, FDIC, and OCC to finalize a rule or implement a method to better account for the potential losses related to these contracts when determining a bank’s capital requirements. This change is intended to increase the stability of the financial system by ensuring banks have a more accurate understanding of the risks they are taking.
