  • Erik ThedĂ©en, Director General, Finansinspektionen: Banking Capital In Times Of Stress - Speech At The UBS Conference: 20th Annual Nordic Financial Services Conference In Stockholm.

    Date 06/09/2017

    "In times of stress, capital buffers need to be available, sufficient and usable. If a buffer is breached, the consequences will be material, but should not have self-reinforcing, stigmatic effects." "The calibration of the Basel output floor and leverage ratio to some extent challenges our principles to have capital requirements which are risk-based and with sufficient buffers. Hence, we can be very clear about one thing: we will not remove capital buffer requirements mechanically if minimum requirements increase. We will, however, comprehensively assess the need for sound overall capital levels contra the need for sufficient buffers to ensure resilience in the system." These words are from Erik Thedéen's speech today at the annual UBS conference about capital requirements and how FI might react during a financial crisis.
