| FIL-52-96 July 12, 1996 |
| TO: | CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER |
| SUBJECT: | Joint Agency Policy Statement on Interest
Rate Risk |
| The FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board and the Office of
the Comptroller of the Currency have jointly issued a policy
statement providing bankers guidance on sound interest rate
risk management practices. The principles and practices
identified in this policy statement describe the standards
the agencies will use to evaluate the adequacy and effectiveness
of a bank's interest rate risk management and the adequacy
of its capital in light of its interest rate risk profile.
This policy statement is in addition to the action taken by the agencies in August 1995 to implement the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 Section 305 requirements for risk-based capital standards for interest rate risk (FIL-54-95). This policy statement also replaces the proposed policy statement that the agencies issued for comment in August 1995 (FIL-55-95) regarding a supervisory framework for measuring and assessing bank interest rate risk. This policy statement is effective June 26, 1996. For more information, please contact one of the FDIC officials listed on Page 33166 of the attached Federal Register notice.
