has a bill regarding and that's the supplemental leverage ratio clearing margin and i know that blaine's bill has strong bipartisan support from the committee and the ag committee and it would offset those margin amounts for purposes of slr because margin is the a risk management tool and legally must be kept from a bank's own funds the fed can affect this change of that legislation, however, and your predecessor showed a willingness to look at the issue. i was hoping you might be willing to consider that situation, that sort of a fix yourself >> thank you so we're taking a careful look at the enhanced supplemental leverage ratio and i think our view is that leverage ratio is very important requirement for banks but it should be a backstop, a high and hard backstop to risk-based capital and i think that the enhancement to the supplemental leverage ratio that we put into place in i guess 2013 in that range went a little too far and it unfortunately seems to be deterring some low risk wholesale type activities that we really want financial institutions to engage in and one of those is clie

and our blaine is inflation will be moderately high they are year.out 2.3% or 2.4% on a year over year basis. and it does seem somewhat closer to 3% would get the central bank policymakers somewhat more concerned. so in that sense, our baseline is looking for the central bank to not make any major change to the benchmark policy rates. but the possibility of a -- a hike sometime in the year cannot be ruled out. depending on the inflation number. yvonne: that 3% level. perhaps being a moment where -- when we need to start rethinking where rates are. grace, those are internal factors. but of course we got the external swarings, particularly on the trade front. we have the chinese going to washington in response to these pune active tariffs by -- punitive tariffs by the u.s. housm is that being priced into the economic outlook right now in china? >> yeah. i think -- our baseline is looking for china's net export sector to do reasonably well. there was some meaningful improvement in the net export sector. in in 2017. for in year, given that we are looking

and i know that blaine's bill has strong bipartisan support from this committee and in essence offset the margin amounts from slr because margin is inherently a risk management tool and legally must be kept from bank's own funds. the fed can affect this legislation, however, and your pr predecessor showed a willing ni ness to look at this issue. and i was hoping you would do. >> thank you. so what we are doing right now is taking a kir full look at the enhanced supplemental ratio. and i think our view is that the leverage ratio is very important requirement for banks, but it should be a backstop. it sthud be a high and hard backstop to risk based capital. and i think the enhancement to this that we put into place in i guess 2013, in that range, went a little too far. and it unfortunately seems to be deterring some low risk wholesale type activities that we want financial institutions to engage in. and one of those is client clearing, and not particularly margin. but our way to address that is to be lower the calibration of the enhancement to the supplemental ratio. and that does seem
