Liquidity Coverage Ratio
LCR. A Basel III liquidity requirement: a banks stock of high-quality liquid assets must be at least equal to its expected net cash outflows over a 30-day stress scenario. LCR was designed to ensure that a bank can survive a one-month liquidity shock without external support. The largest US banks must report and meet LCR; smaller community banks are exempt from the formal requirement but face informal supervisory expectations. A bank disclosing LCR well above 100 percent has more buffer than a bank just at the minimum.
