Reviewing the Capital Adequacy Regulation

Description

BoA is seeking to improve and to expand the coverage of the regulation on capital adequacy in order to capture a wider range of risks faced by the banks. The methodology used in the current frameworks calculates the (minimum) regulatory capital to cover only for credit risk. Other risk typologies, such as operational risk, have not been addressed yet. Therefore BoA proposes to improve risk management by improving the methodology for calculating risk weighted assets, by improving the existing methodology on credit risk and by including the operational risk.

Current Status

As more information on international experience with capital adequacy to operational and credit risks was needed, SPI Secretariat and the Project Management team met with Raiffeisen Bank representatives from Risk Management Department.
SPI Secretariat is preparing for the third PWG meeting in which the PWG members will be organized in sub-groups in order to formulate PWG regulatory proposals
