A potential change to the Basel Committee for Banking Supervision's rules could significantly reduce the number of banks required to report systemic risk indicators. The proposed increase in the threshold for leverage exposures from €200 billion to €350 billion could exempt 24 banks from their current disclosure obligations. This adjustment, if implemented, would represent a 60% reduction in the pool of banks subject to these international standards.
