Bankers meet ECB about loan guidelines

摘要

Loan bankers met the European Central Bank in Frankfurt on Friday to discuss proposed leveraged lending guidelines as concerns mount that the rules could have a significant impact in Europe, where banks play a prominent role as investors and hold more exposure on their balance sheets than their counterparts in the US. The ECB is conducting a consultation process and has asked for comments by January 27, after unveiling draft guidelines in November that mirror existing US rules.
