Definition

Net Stable Fund Ratio. It is a significant component of the Basel III reforms. It requires financial institutions to maintain a stable funding profile in relation to their on and off-balance sheet activities. In this way, it reduces the likelihood to lose a financial institution's liquidity position in a way that could increase the risk of its failure and potentially leads to broader systemic stress.
