Increasedcapitalrequirements
Undertheagreementsreachedtoday,theminimumrequirementforcommonequity,thehighestformoflossabsorbingcapital,willberaisedfromthecurrent2%level,beforetheapplicationofregulatoryadjustments,to%aftertheapplicationofstricteradjustments.Thiswillbephasedinby1January2015.TheTier1capitalrequirement,whichincludescommonequityandotherqualifyingfinancialinstrumentsbasedonstrictercriteria,willincreasefrom4%to6%overthesameperiod.(Annex1summarisesthenewcapitalrequirements.)
TheGroupofGovernorsandHeadsofSupervisionalsoagreedthatthecapitalconservationbufferabovetheregulatoryminimumrequirementbecalibratedat%andbemetwithcommonequity,aftertheapplicationofdeductions.Thepurposeoftheconservationbufferistoensurethatbanksmaintainabufferofcapitalthatcanbeusedtoabsorblossesduringperiodsoffinancialandeconomicstress.Whilebanksareallowedtodrawonthebufferduringsuchperiodsofstress,theclosertheirregulatorycapitalratiosapproachtheminimumrequirement,thegreatertheconstraintsonearningsdistributions.Thisframeworkwillreinforcetheobjectiveofsoundsupervisionandbankgovernanceandaddressthecollectiveactionproblemthathaspreventedsomebanksfromcurtailingdistributionssuchasdiscretionarybonusesandhighdividends,eveninthefaceofdeterioratingcapitalpositions.
