The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board), and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) (collectively, the agencies) are seeking comment on an amendment to the notice of proposed rulemaking (NPR) to modify the agencies' market risk capital rules, published in the Federal Register on January 11, 2011 (January 2011 NPR). The January 2011 NPR did not include the methodologies adopted by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) for calculating the standard specific risk capital requirements for certain debt and securitization positions, because the BCBS methodologies generally rely on credit ratings.

Says a new report from independent evaluation at multilateral development banks.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Evaluation Cooperation Group (ECG), a network of independent evaluation units of multilateral development banks (MDBs), released today a synthesis evaluation on MDB assistance to Agriculture and Agribusiness. The evaluative lessons assume special significance today as the world faces the possibility of another food crisis, as food prices rose to a record in December on higher costs for sugar, grain and oilseeds. The overarching message in this context concerns the urgency to raise productivity all along the agricultural value chain.

LONDON, Nov. 29, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- A meta-evaluation on microfinance released by the Evaluation Cooperation Group of international financial institutions reports that microfinance operations have had difficulty in reaching the very poor.
Microfinance, specifically micro-lending - defined broadly to cover both small loans to the poor, often but not exclusively based on group liability, as well as small loans to microenterprises, based on character or projected cash flow - has emerged as an important innovative form of financial intermediation over the last 30 years. The multilateral development banks (MDBs) have played an important role in the evolution of the industry, initially seeing it as an important instrument for targeting poverty and, more specifically, for targeting poor fema...
