Banks capital adequacy ratios were set globally, and, once set, remained fixed.

None of the major banks met even the Basel 1 standards for capital adequacy.

There seems to be little appetite for proposals to vary capital adequacy requirements counter cyclically.

As is frequently pointed out, unless banking regulations are identical across frontiers, there will be plenty of scope for regulatory arbitrage.

Similarly, banks would have incentives to game capital adequacy requirements by manipulating how capital and assets are defined.

The recent agreement by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision on a new capital adequacy framework is another positive step.

First, sovereign bonds held by banks are treated as risk free assets under EU rules for calculating banks solvency and capital adequacy levels.

The temporal dimension of institution building and the issue of human capital are also linked. The reality of successful institution building is that key individuals are critical in the early stages, even if successful institutions may later make particular individuals less indispensable.

Keeping those loans on the books would have meant that a bank would have had to incur a large capital adequacy provision and monitor the loans performance, at a cost to itself.

In his recent speech to the annual, elite central banking conference in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, the Bank of England s Andy Haldane made a forceful plea for a return to simplicity in banking regulation. Haldane rightly complained that banking regulation has evolved from a small number of very specific guidelines to mind numbingly complicated statistical algorithms for measuring risk and capital adequacy.
