ABA Statement on Proposal to Revise CAMELS Rating System

"We welcome the proposal to modify the CAMELS rating system, and federal regulators' focus on material financial risks rather than policies, procedures and paperwork. As we have shared previously, there are opportunities to make thoughtful improvements to the CAMELS framework that prioritize safety and soundness without imposing unnecessary compliance burdens that take banks' time and resources away from serving their customers and communities. We look forward to reviewing the proposal with members and sharing our perspective during the comment process."
