Q

What does the term 'Capital Adequacy' refer to in the context of banking regulation?

A

Capital adequacy refers to the minimum amount of capital a bank must hold relative to its risk-weighted assets, ensuring the bank can absorb losses and protect depositors. Under Basel III, the minimum CAR for Indian banks is 9% (higher than the 8% Basel minimum).

Q

What is the concept of Net Interest Income (NII) sensitivity in banking?

A

Change in NII due to interest rate fluctuations over a period

Q

What is the difference between Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital under Basel III norms?

A

Tier 1 capital (going-concern capital) includes Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) and Additional Tier 1 instruments like perpetual bonds, representing core capital. Tier 2 capital (gone-concern capital) includes subordinated debt and general provisions, acting as a secondary buffer for creditors in liquidation.

Q

What is Basis Risk in the context of interest rate risk management?

Risk from imperfect correlation between rates on assets and liabilities

Q

What is the Capital Conservation Buffer (CCB) and what is its prescribed level under Basel III?

A

The Capital Conservation Buffer is an additional CET1 capital requirement of 2.5% above the minimum, designed to ensure banks build up capital buffers outside periods of stress. Banks that erode this buffer face restrictions on dividend payments and discretionary bonuses.

Q

What is a Yield Curve and what does its shape indicate about the economy?

A

Graph of yields vs maturities; shape signals economic expectations

Q

How is the Leverage Ratio defined under Basel III and what is the minimum prescribed level?

A

The Leverage Ratio is calculated as Tier 1 capital divided by the total exposure measure (on-balance-sheet and off-balance-sheet items), expressed as a percentage. Basel III mandates a minimum Leverage Ratio of 3%, and RBI requires Indian banks to maintain at least 4%.

Q

What is Repricing Risk and how does it arise in banking?
