Episode #2 │ Bank Capital Proposals: What’s Changed, What It Means for CRE Finance, and CREFC’s Plan of Action
David McCarthy, CREFC’s Managing Director, Chief Lobbyist, and Head of Legislative Affairs, is joined by Sairah Burki, Managing Director and Head of Regulatory Affairs at CREFC, and Matthew G. Bisanz, Partner at Mayer Brown LLP, to discuss the recently released bank capital proposals from U.S. regulators and what they could mean for CRE lenders, issuers, and the broader market. The conversation explores what changed from the 2023 proposal, what’s at stake, CREFC’s plan of action, and what comes next.
What they are saying.
- “This is not a ‘submit a letter and walk away’ issue. This bank capital framework is going to shape CRE finance for the next decade or more, so the engagement will definitely continue.” – Sairah Burki
- “If warehouse facilities become punitively more expensive for banks, loan originators will have fewer options for aggregating loans pre-securitization, which could raise execution costs across the CMBS market.” -- Matthew Bisanz
