1. ''Bank regulation - capital requirements - Bank for International Settlements (BIS).''
''Long term funding''


Capital adequacy is the system of regulating banks (and other financial institutions) by requiring them to maintain minimum acceptable levels - and types - of capital, adequate to absorb their potential credit losses and other trading losses.
Abbreviation for 'covenant-lite'.




Requirements are laid down internationally by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) and implented and monitored by domestic central banks.

*[[Covenant]]
Historically, the BIS capital adequacy standard had been 8%.
*[[Covenant-lite]]
 
Under the Basel III framework this standard was increased (strengthened) substantially - very roughly doubled - and its measurement refined.
 
 
2. ''Insurance & other contexts.''
 
Similar risk management and regulation in other contexts.
 
For example, insurance companies.
