Using a new survey of bank regulation and supervision covering more than 120 economies, we show that regulatory capital increased, but some elements of capital regulations became laxer.

This is particularly true for banks that have more discretion in the computation of regulatory capital ratios and are subject to weaker market monitoring. 2021-06-04T18:14:26Z 2021-06-04T18:14:26Z 2021-05-17 Journal Article Journal of Financial Stability http://hdl.handle.net/10986/35679 CC BY-NC-ND 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/igo World Bank Elsevier Publications & Research Publications & Research :: Journal Article
