This SDN takes stock of the current debate on the capital regulation of banks. The focus will be on the level of capital (other aspects such as contingent capital and the quality of capital have been covered in previous SDNs). It analyzes the pros and cons of higher capital requirements, and will conduct analyses to support the case for higher capital requirements, while highlighting areas where more work is needed to get more granular policy advice.
