The Capital Buffers and Macro-prudential Measures Regulations 2025
Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.
Change 1
9 Buffer rates for exposures outside the UK
(1) This regulation applies where the FPC recognises or sets a buffer rate for exposures— (a) held by a UK institution, and (b) located in a country or territory outside the United Kingdom (“overseas country or territory”). (2) The FPC may set a buffer rate for an overseas country or territory where the overseas regulator of that country or territory has not set and published a buffer rate for a capital buffer serving the same purpose as the countercyclical capital buffer rate set by the FPC under regulation 5. (3) The FPC may recognise the buffer rate set by an overseas regulator where that buffer rate— (a) exceeds 2.5%, and (b) serves the same purpose as the countercyclical capital buffer rate set by the FPC under regulation 5. (4) The FPC may set a buffer rate, determined in accordance with paragraph (5), for an overseas country or territory where— (a) the overseas regulator of that country or territory sets a buffer rate serving the same purpose as the countercyclical capital buffer rate set by the FPC under regulation 5 (“the overseas rate”), and (b) the FPC reasonably considers that the overseas rate is not appropriate to protect UK institutions from the risks of excessive credit growth in the country or territory to which the overseas rate applies. (5) The FPC may— (a) set a buffer rate for an overseas country or territory which is higher than the overseas rate for that country or territory, or (b) set a buffer rate for an overseas country or territory which is lower than the overseas rate for that country or territory provided that the rate set by the FPC exceeds 2.5%. (6) The FPC may only recognise or set a buffer rate under this regulation in order for the PRA to require UK institutions with exposures located outside the United Kingdom to apply that buffer rate in their calculation of their institution-specific countercyclical capital buffers.

How this law is officially changed
Solon does not know this law's official route yet. The proposal is recorded all the same, and the route appears here once its source is added.
A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
