  • Establishing clear rules for loan-to-value limits that must be maintained throughout the entire duration of a loan.
  • Introducing a mandatory minimum level of extra collateral to protect against the risk of an issuer becoming insolvent.
  • Setting specific limits on the amount of exposure a bank can have to credit institutions with different levels of creditworthiness.
