Summary

This chapter presents a simplified framework in which the risk-weighted capital ratio, the leverage ratio, the liquidity coverage ratio, and the net stable funding ratio are all related to a small set of fundamental bank balance sheet characteristics. Using this framework, we examine the interactions among the requirements to help understand which are likely to bind and how they affect banks’ business models. Our analysis allows us to conclude that the two liquidity requirements almost surely will never bind at the same time and helps us to understand how stress tests can change which capital requirement binds.
