CSBS Says Now is Not the Time for New Risk-Based Capital Framework
WASHINGTON, D.C. – In a comment letter submitted this week to federal banking agencies, the Conference of State Bank Supervisors said this is not the appropriate time to implement a new capital framework.
?The proposed Standardized Approach and the adopted Advanced Approach will fundamentally change the way capital adequacy is calculated at a time when most of our assumptions regarding quantifying risk and the impact of complex financial instruments are being challenged by global market events,? CSBS President and CEO Neil Milner said.
Milner noted that CSBS has consistently expressed concerns about adopting the Basel II capital framework in the United States. The arguments for its adoption have centered on international competitiveness and the need to more accurately quantify risk.
