The Report
![Page 12: Professor Mark Taylor WARWICK NETWORK DAY Monday 12 April 2010](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649ea25503460f94ba60eb/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• In times of economic and financial boom, banks and financial institutions need to have their ability to create loans reined in, in order to avoid fuelling asset market bubbles
• Financial regulators need to curtail institutions’ ability to heighten risk by mismatching the maturity of their assets
• Regulators must have the flexibility to apply tight regulatory requirements on institutions that threaten the stability of the whole financial system
• Increased powers for national regulators in a bid to prevent banks from establishing overseas branches and regulating them from their home base
• Host regulation would lead to a ‘right-sizing’ of the financial sector, so that the finance industry is not allowed to excessively dominate a country’s economy
Key recommendations

• Banks and financial institutions hold capital as a ‘cushion’ to protect their depositors
• More capital is held, the lower the risk that the bank will not be able to meet its liabilities
• Regulators set limits on the minimum amount of capital that must be held for a given amount of liability
• This is the ‘capital adequacy ratio’
Capital Adequacy Ratios

Systemic Risk
• Fallacy of Composition
• Individual risk vs system-wide risk
![Page 15: Professor Mark Taylor WARWICK NETWORK DAY Monday 12 April 2010](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649ea25503460f94ba60eb/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• Based on an analysis of a single institution
• Prudent capital adequacy ratios
• As capital value rises, lend more
• As capital value falls, reduce lending
• But what if this happens to everyone at the same time?
Lessons for financial regulation?

• Supplement micro-prudential regulation • Alleviate systemic effects • Raise capital adequacy ratios as capital value
rises faster than a benchmark rate of growth• “In times of economic and financial boom, banks
and financial institutions need to have their ability to create loans reined in, in order to avoid fuelling asset market bubbles”
Macro-Prudential Regulation
