On Sept. 10, in a speech given at the Brookings Institution of Washington, D.C., the Federal Reserve’s Vice Chair for Supervision Michael Barr announced that the central bank would be revising and re-proposing its bank-capital rules proposal commonly referred to as their Basel III Endgame Regulation. The regulation, first proposed in 2023, would have mandated a dramatic hike in the capital requirements on major banks and garnered intense criticism from the private sector, including from NAIOP and its real estate allies, who raised concerns about the negative impact the new regulations would have on the availability of credit for commercial real estate. In a clear victory for NAIOP and real estate, Barr made clear in his speech that the Federal Reserve (Fed) would be scaling back the regulation.
