CAP10 Definition of eligible capital (paras. 10.1-10.26) (effective as of 15 December 2019) (updated 5 June 2020)
This chapter sets out the eligibility criteria for regulatory capital. Three categories of instruments are permitted: Common Equity Tier 1, Additional Tier 1 and Tier 2.
Version effective as of 15 Dec 2019
Updated to include the following FAQs: CAP10.11 FAQ24 and CAP10.16 FAQ10.
Components of capital
10.1 Regulatory capital consists of three categories, each governed by a single set of criteria that instruments are required to meet before inclusion in the relevant category.
(1) Common Equity Tier 1 (going-concern capital)
(2) Additional Tier 1 (going-concern capital)
(3) Tier 2 Capital (gone-concern capital)
10.2 Total regulatory capital is the sum of Common Equity Tier 1, Additional Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital, net of regulatory adjustments described in CAP30. Tier 1 capital is the sum of Common Equity Tier 1 and Additional Tier 1 capital, net of the regulatory adjustments in CAP30 applied to those categories.
10.3 It is critical that banks’ risk exposures are backed by a high-quality capital base. To this end, the predominant form of Tier 1 capital must be common shares and retained earnings.
10.4 Throughout CAP10 the term “bank” is used to mean bank, banking group or other entity (eg holding company) whose capital is being measured.
