European banks’ aggregate LCR dips as outflows rise

Net cash outflows outpaced HQLAs, but liquidity reserves remain plump

The aggregate liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) of Europe’s top banks slipped in the first half of the year, as an increase in cash outflow projections outpaced a growing amount of liquidity reserves.

High-quality liquid assets (HQLAs) across 32 European banks analysed by Risk Quantum totalled €4.4 trillion ($4.3 trillion) at end-June, up 2% in six months. Over the same period, combined net cash outflows reached €2.8 trillion, up 3%.
