Rather than holding an investment in our bodies, we re all at risk of becoming capital my body, but somebody else s capital.

Indeed, ignorance about what is actually at risk makes debates about the right formula for capital buffers surreal.

a. avoid destabilising capital flows to maximise benefits from globalised capital markets, thereby minimising risk

The banks are now content to leave those funds at the Fed, where they earn a mere 0.25 because they are risk free, completely liquid, and unburdened by capital requirements. The alternative is to lend commercially at relatively low interest rates, with less liquidity, more risk, and the need to provide capital.

The resulting perception that currency risk was declining bolstered capital inflows further.

As a result, financial markets, which are supposed to manage risk and allocate capital efficiently, created risk and misallocated wildly.

Indeed, ignorance about what is actually at risk makes debates about the right formula for capital buffers surreal. Moreover, the use of mechanistic rules to determine capital adequacy has also inadvertently encouraged systemic imprudence.

This approach implies that more can be done to reduce systemic risk, beyond reforming how risk is measured and capital buffers determined.

Youth at risk

The fund's objectives, typically, are those of (a) maximizing risk adjusted returns, (b) security of capital and (c) liquidity, and their respective attitudes to risk.

A number of risk factors were identified, including failure, the loss of capital or closure and the risk of being taken over by foreign firms.

Though this environment may not be fundamentally at risk, the current trend towards increasing capital requirements for international banks reflected, for example, in calls for the establishment of independent subsidiaries with autonomous capital and liquidity pools is clearly worrisome.

They can take on more risk running a more highly leveraged business with less shareholder capital.

The banks can report record profits without much risk, rebuild capital, and pay dividends and bonuses.

While the right policies cannot eliminate risk, they can ameliorate the cost benefit tradeoff from capital flows.

Proceeding with capital injections before the single supervisor is in place would only encourage more risk taking.

These trends imply an increased probability that the market is underestimating risk, so systemic risk regulators should raise minimum capital requirements as soon as they spot them.

At the end of 2012, China s commercial banks held 6.4 trillion in core capital and 1.5 trillion in non performing loan provisions, for a risk cushion of roughly 8 trillion.

A bloated and dysfunctional financial system had misallocated capital and, rather than managing risk, had actually created it.

Children are most at risk.

The problem here is that these measures implicitly assume that risk declines when markets are doing well they demand less capital during calm periods and more capital during volatile periods.

Since high risk premiums on government bonds endanger the capital adequacy of banks, half a solution is not enough.

Lack of equity capital, in turn, made risk averse shareholders hire gamblers to manage their limited liability investment companies.

The third risk is that rising oil prices reduce investor confidence and increase risk aversion, leading to stock market corrections that have negative wealth effects on consumption and capital spending.

The point at which credit risk becomes exchange rate redenomination risk is ambiguous.

My hand is at life, here, so at risk.

Is the world economy at risk?

These gains are now at risk.

Perceptions of such divergences force considerable risk premiums on problem countries, inevitably resulting in accelerating capital flight to safe havens.

And, if Spain is at serious risk of default, government solvency is at risk throughout the eurozone except in Germany.

Sharp rises in sovereign, corporate, and interbank liquidity spreads will increase the cost of capital, and increases in risk aversion, volatility, and sovereign risk will undermine business, investor, and consumer confidence further.

Moreover, if financial institutions follow their own risk assessments when estimating appropriate capital cushions, the costs associated with such provisions decline.

Foreign participation in the financial sector brings expertise needed to provide more efficient savings instruments, risk management, and allocation of capital.

The discount rate used is generally the appropriate weighted average cost of capital (WACC), that reflects the risk of the cashflows.

Women and children are at particular risk.

No one believes that Germany is at risk of default, but investors overlook this sort of policy shift at their own risk.

In most developing countries, financial service providers are not yet in a position to use modern credit risk management techniques to assess borrowers' risk and thus competitively provide capital, particularly trade finance, to enterprises.

From a regulator s perspective, this is a powerful argument for requiring higher capital to constrain the risk that banks can take on.

The proposed Basel III regulations set wholly insufficient minimum capital requirements and maintain a failed approach to adjusting the requirements to risk.

Those who are willing to engage often demand steep risk premiums that dramatically increase the cost of capital, often to usurious levels.

After the destruction of the old Chu capital at Ying, Chen became the Chu capital for a period.
