07:14 AM EDT, 09/10/2024 (MT Newswires) -- (Updates with the US Federal Reserve's response in second paragraph.)

Regulators have agreed to cut an initial plan to increase capital requirements for the biggest US banks from 19% to 9%, Bloomberg News reported late Monday, citing people familiar with the matter.

The US Federal Reserve turned down MT Newswires' request for comment, while the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency did not immediately respond.

The three regulators are expected to release proposed revisions to the capital mandates as soon as Sept. 19, Bloomberg has earlier reported.
