Other papers addressing related issues such as the role of market, operational risks individually and in combination with credit risk in the context of economic capital models will follow.
Regulatory capital requirements are minimum capital requirements. The amount of capital retained in excess of regulatory requirements will materially influence the credit rating assigned.
