Thursday, May 17, 2012, 7:54 AM Fitch's estimate of $566B in additional capital needs for the world's largest banks is likely to create a tradeoff for the lenders. A better capitalization ratio could lead to lower risk premiums, but more capital means ROE will suffer, maybe by more than 20%, thus reducing the bank's ability to attract investment. 3 Comments [Financials]
Thursday, May 17, 2012, 4:43 AM The world's 29 largest banks will need to raise an extra $566B in new capital by 2018 to meet tougher Basel III standards, according to a Fitch study. The extra capital would be a 23% increase on what banks held at the end of 2011, or roughly equivalent to three times their combined annual earnings. U.S. banks will be hit particularly hard by the relative capital requirements for risky activities. 5 Comments [Top Stories, Financials]
Thursday, December 15, 2011, 3:20 AM A new study suggests European banks will need to raise nearly €200B in new capital, or cut their balance sheets by nearly 20%, in order to meet Basel III requirements that start taking effect in 2013. With credit markets increasingly tight, this will be no small feat. (U.S. and Asia banks face a collective shortfall of less than €70B.) 3 Comments [Global & FX, Financials]
Saturday, September 10, 2011, 8:15 AM Uncomfortable parallels for banks from Floyd Norris: Indexes of financials are down about as much this year as they were at this point in 2008 - right before Lehman Brothers collapsed and the stocks tanked further (chart). 5 Comments [Financials]
