Bill Summary

Options Markets Stability Act This bill revises the method of calculating the risk, for purposes of satisfying capital rules applicable to depository institutions and depository institution holding companies, of certain options cleared through a central counterparty.

AI Summary

This bill requires the Federal Reserve, FDIC, and Comptroller of the Currency to issue a rule within 360 days to adopt a new methodology for calculating the counterparty credit risk exposure of depository institutions and their holding companies when providing guarantees to central counterparties for their clients' exchange-listed derivative contracts. The agencies must consider various factors, such as market liquidity, bid-ask spreads, central clearing preferences, financial stability, and other potential impacts on the options market, when developing this new risk-based capital treatment. After 5 years, the Federal Reserve must submit a report to Congress on the rule's effects.
