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

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

European banks, traditionally a major source of trade finance, have pulled back dramatically, owing to capital adequacy problems caused by sovereign debt capital losses and, in some cases, losses from real estate lending.

There seems to be little appetite for proposals to vary capital adequacy requirements counter cyclically. This would enable capital buffers to be created in good years, which could then be drawn down in bad years.

For instance, we know that the global capital adequacy requirements produced by the Basel Committee reflect overwhelmingly the influence of large banks.

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.

South African firms have used their relatively lower cost of capital to invest in other African countries where capital markets were not developed.

Capital adequacy was a matter of judgment examiners would figure out how large a buffer a bank ought to have, taking into account its specific risks.
