Global Evidence on Capital Buffers and Net Stable Funding Ratios

XI Seminar on Risk, Financial Stability and Banking Sao Paulo
August 10-12, 2016
The views expressed in this presentation are those of the authors, and not necessarily those of CEMLA. We appreciate the contributions to this work of CEMLAs economists Jonathan Barboza and Ignacio Garron.
Global evidence on capital buffers and net stable funding ratios Motivation: banking crisis are costly. Basel III, through capital and
liquidity regulations, tries to enhance the supervision and risk management of the banking sector. However, these regulations were calibrated mostly against BIS membership information. There is need to understand these variables at a global scale and undercover potential heterogeneities across countries and income groups.
Objective: (i) understand the determinants of banks choice of capital buffers, and (ii) analyze the role of banks net stable funding ratio (NSFR) in explaining future financial instability.
Methodology: aided by theoretical frameworks, we designed econometric specifications to test different hypotheses exploiting the information of almost 11,000 banks across 143 countries for the 2001 2015 period.
Contribution: give a global analysis of the regulated variables by examining a large sample of banks and countries while we factor in multiple dimensions, incorporate methodological improvements and conduct robustness checks.

Banking regulatory framework
"Basel III" is a comprehensive set of reform measures, developed by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, to strengthen the regulation, supervision and risk management of the banking sector. These measures aim to:
improve the banking sector's ability to absorb shocks arising from financial and economic stress, whatever the source
improve risk management and governance strengthen banks' transparency and disclosures.
The reforms target: bank-level, or microprudential, regulation, which will help raise the resilience of
individual banking institutions to periods of stress. macroprudential, system wide risks that can build up across the banking sector as well
as the procyclical amplification of these risks over time.
These two approaches to supervision are complementary as greater resilience at the individual bank level reduces the risk of system wide shocks.
It builds on the International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards document (Basel II).

Bank capital buffers
Bank capital buffers, which are holdings of banks capital-to-asset ratio in excess of the regulatory minimum, are persistent both across countries and over time.

Q75/Q25 range Average Capital BufferCapital Buffer (right axis)
Following Jokipii and Milne (2008) we define the capital buffer as the bank capital ratio less the Minimum Capital Ratio (MCR). The bank capital ratio is approximated by the Total Capital Ratio (TCR), which measures the actual regulatory capital ratio in each jurisdiction. TCR data comes from Bankscope, MCR data from WB database The Regulation of Banks around the World, surveys I, II, III and IV. Barth et al. (2001, 2004, 2006, 2012).

The presence of highly persistent capital buffers could indicate that banks approach their optimum target with a partial adjustment.

Boone Indicator (BOONE)
Measure of competition linking marginal costs to market share
Higher competition could lead to lower (EME) levels of buffers due to lower profitability and charter value, but if pool of borrowers is affected by competition, then could lead to
higher (OECD) levels to cover losses.
