Basel III requires banks to have a minimum CET1 ratio (Common Tier 1 capital divided by risk-weighted assets (RWAs)) at all times of: . 4.5%; Plus: A mandatory "capital conservation buffer" or "stress capital buffer requirement", equivalent to at least 2.5% of risk-weighted assets, but could be higher based on results from stress tests, as determined by national regulators.
The standards are expected to increase capital requirements for British banks alone by £50 billion. [16] The average Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio for major European banks is estimated to fall by 0.9%, with the biggest impact on banks in Sweden and Denmark of 2.5–3%. [17]
We also ended with $201 billion of regulatory CET1 capital and a CET1 ratio of 11.9%, leaving us nearly 115 basis points of excess capital as we begin 2025. ... And our $460 billion of total loss ...
The CET1 (Standardized) ratio at the end of the fourth quarter of 2024 was 10.9%, down 0.7% from both 4Q23 and 3Q24, mainly due to higher capital return and increased RWA for business growth ...
We maintain strong capital, ending the year with a preliminary 13.6% CET1 capital ratio, approximately 150 basis points above our regulatory capital requirement of 12.1%.
These banks entered the process with an average Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1, i.e., percentage of Tier 1 capital held by banks) [22] ratio of 13%, higher than the 11.2% of 2014. The test showed that, with one exception, all the assessed banks exceeded the benchmark used in 2014 in terms of CET1 capital level (5.5%).
We continue to maintain a strong balance sheet with exceptional levels of capital and credit reserves as reflected by a year-end CET1 ratio of 15.7% and allowance for loan losses of 129 basis points.
