Regulation D – The 0% Reserve Requirement 

April 26, 2023 by Chase Jarrett Topics: Industry News, Policy/Legislation, Real Estate Financing/Capital Markets

The Regulation D Reserve Requirement, put in place by the Federal Reserve in 2020, is a measure designed to improve the stability of the financial system by requiring certain financial institutions to hold a minimum amount of reserves against their deposit liabilities. This requirement, which applies to banks and other depository institutions, is intended to help ensure that these institutions have sufficient liquidity to meet the needs of their customers, even during times of economic stress.  

There are several potential consequences of the Regulation D Reserve Requirement. One of the most significant is that it can reduce the amount of money available for investment in the economy, which can help to keep inflation in check. By requiring financial institutions to hold more reserves, the regulation effectively reduces the amount of money that these institutions can lend out to customers, which can reduce the amount of money available for investment.  

As the Federal Reserve continues to raise interest rates, it becomes increasingly important for doctors to understand their long-term plan for owning their medical buildings before interest rates increase further. The Federal Reserve’s recent 25 basis point interest rate hike, along with continued balance sheet reduction, has significant implications for the medical real estate market, coupled with succinct demonstrations of over-leveraging in the treasury bond market among commercial banks.  

Regulation D reserve requirements put in place by the Federal Reserve can create over-leveraging risks for financial institutions, particularly in times of economic volatility and rising interest rates. If an increase in the reserve requirement occurs, it would make it more difficult for banks and other financial institutions to provide financing for the development and construction and acquisition of existing medical and other commercial buildings. This can lead to a reduction in the availability of credit, which can have negative implications for the broader economy and the medical real estate market.  

When structuring a long-term plan, physician partnerships should understand the potential impact of over-leveraging becomes more pronounced. It is important for physician-owners to carefully evaluate market conditions and consider the potential consequences of rising interest rates and over-leveraging before deciding about selling their medical buildings, and structure an equitable exit of their investment. By considering these factors and taking appropriate action, doctors can protect their financial interests and ensure the success of their medical practices in the future.
