How do you come up with a good bank strategy knowing current regulations are unsustainable and will change?

Monday, December 28, 2015 9:25

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

Sir, I refer to your reporters’ article on the fate of new chiefs grappling with problems at Barclays, Deutsche Bank and Credit Suisse “Banking trio seek clean sweep with investors” December 28.

For that capital that is supposed to allow banks cover for some unexpected losses, the regulators have imposed credit risk weighted capital requirements; more risk, more capital – less risk, less capital.

But, the excessive exposures that could endanger the bank system are never created with assets perceived as risky and always with assets perceived as safe.

But, the safer something is perceived, the larger is its potential to deliver unexpected losses.

But, to base some requirements for the unexpected on the expected credit risks, makes absolutely no sense.

But, since credit risk is about the only risk that is already cleared for by banks, with interest rates and size of exposure, clearing for it again in the capital, signifies that credit risks are given too much consideration and, any risk, no matter how well it is perceived, leads to wrong actions if excessively considered.

And so now we suffer from a catastrophic distortion in the allocation of bank credit to the real economy. Way too much credit to what is perceived or deemed to be safe, like in mortgages and to Greece, and way too little credit to what is perceived as risky, like to SMEs and entrepreneurs.

I am absolutely sure that this trio of bank chiefs, or at least some of those surrounding them, know that this kind of regulations are unsustainable and will be changed, hopefully sooner than later. Since any new regulations would most certainly entail holding more capital against all assets, something unwelcomed by their shareholders, the chiefs can’t even address this issue openly. It must certainly be no easy task to prepare for the ground moving beneath you.
