  2. Regulation of Financial Intermediaries • take deposits, give loans • very small equity capital, big leverage • FDIC, CDIC, Israel - implicit • domino effect • Minimal capital requirements (8-9%) FRM-2

  3. Banks • major increase of off-balance sheet in 80s • 1988 Basle accord (88 BIS Accord) - international minimum capital guidelines (credit risk). • 1996 Amendment - market risk + VaR. • Amendment = BIS 98 FRM-2

  4. Accord + Amendment • assets to capital  20 • eligible capital/risk weighted assets  8% • minimal capital charge for market risk • concentration risk: • positions of 10% must be reported • positions of 25% need special permission FRM-2

  5. Accord + Amendment • regulators encourage banks to develop models. • Banks must implement a RM infrastructure in their daily RM - limits, monitoring, etc. • G-30 report, 1993. FRM-2

  6. G-30 policy recommendations • The Role of senior management • Marking to market • Market valuation methods • Identifying revenue sources • Measuring market risk (VaR) • Stress simulation • Investing and funding forecasts FRM-2

  7. G-30 policy recommendations • Independent risk management • Practices by end-user • Measuring credit exposure • Master agreements • Credit enhancements • Promoting enforceability • Professional expertise FRM-2

  8. G-30 policy recommendations • Systems • Authority • Accounting practices • Disclosures • Recognizing netting • Legal and regulatory uncertainty • Tax treatment • Accounting standards FRM-2

  9. 1988 BIS Accord • Developed by Basle committee • Accepted by G-10: Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Sweden, UK, USA. • minimum asset to capital multiple • risk based capital ratio FRM-2

  10. 1988 BIS Accord risk based capital ratio - solvency ratio (Cooke ratio). Capital divided by risk weighted on-balance-sheet assets plus off-balance-sheet exposures. Weights are based on credit risk. No netting or portfolio effects! No market risk. FRM-2

  11. 1988 BIS Accord The Assets-to-capital multiple  20 Bank’s total assets divided by its total capital. Some off-balance-sheet items, like letters of credit are accounted at nominal. FRM-2

  12. Weights in Cooke ratio On-balance-sheet items: 0% Cash, gold, OECD government claims, insured mortgages. 20% OECD banks, OECD public sector entities. 50% Uninsured residential mortgages. 100% All other claims. FRM-2

  13. Cooke ratio Off-balance-sheet credit equivalent. 1. Nonderivative exposure - conversion factor is set by regulators between 0 and 1. 2. Derivative exposure = Current replacement cost + Add-on amount Risk weighted amount = Assets*W+Credit equivalent*W FRM-2

  14. Cooke ratio • Banks are required to maintain capital equal to at least 8% of their total risk weighted assets. (In Israel 9%.) FRM-2

  15. Capital • Tier 1. Stock equity, preferred stock, minority equity interest in consolidated subsidiaries, less goodwill and other deductions. • Tier 2. Cumulative perpetual preferred shares, 99 year debentures, some subordinated debt (5y). • Tier 3. Can be used to cover market risk only. Short term subordinated debt (2y). • Tier 1 + Tier 2  8%, and Tier 1 must be at least 50% of this amount. FRM-2

  16. Models • Standard model. • Internal models (based on VaR). (3*marketVaR10d +4*creditVaR10d)*trigger/8 trigger = 8 in North America and between 8 and 25 in the UK FRM-2

  17. Problems with the current approach • No distinction between a loan of $100 and 100 loans of $1 each one. • Turkish bank has lower capital requirements than General Electric. • A loan to AA rated firm is treated as a loan to a B rated firm. • Some similar contracts are treated differently. FRM-2

  18. New proposals • BIS 2000 • VaR based approach to credit risk. • CreditMetrics • CreditRisk+ • KMV • Merton. FRM-2
