|
| 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.
| | A term financing arrangement, usually on a limited recourse basis, under which funds are lent for a specified project against the security of the project cash flows. |
|
| |
|
| | | The project itself is normally a long-term one, relating to infrastructure, public services or a large industrial undertaking. |
| Requirements are laid down internationally by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) and implented and monitored by domestic central banks.
| |
| | |
| Historically, the BIS capital adequacy standard had been 8%.
| |
| | |
| Under the Basel III framework this standard was increased (strengthened) substantially - very roughly doubled - and its measurement refined.
