Integrated Brief
Bank reserves plus ON RRP as a share of total commercial-bank assets — the banking system's cash cushion. Display-only context, NOT in the DLI score: the headline tracks the net-liquidity FLOW (is liquidity being added or drained now), while this shows the structural buffer LEVEL behind it. A falling ratio (TGA refills, ON RRP exhausted, reserves sliding) means a thinner margin of safety even when the flow reads loose. It halved from ~26% (2021-22) to ~12% (2026).
