Changes have been made toBKL mechanismThe approach to using the BCL to meet the standard has also been revised: now the BCL will only cover small volatility in the standard (up to 20 percentage points). The fee for the BCL will depend on how many days and to what extent the bank actually used the BCL to meet the standard.

The Bank of Russia expects banks to have little need for the NKL. The NKL takes into account the specifics of the Russian market, primarily in terms of the composition of highly liquid assets. The goal of revising the NKL mechanism is to ensure flexibility in banks' liquidity management, mitigating temporary short-term changes that do not threaten financial stability. The fee calculation procedure should motivate banks to meet the standard through market instruments.
