Abstract

This paper analyses the structural adjustments surrounding capital adequacy ratios undertaken by Bank of China in response to the New Capital Rules over the past 10 years. It decomposes the strategies employed by BoC into “Capital” as the numerator and “Risk-weighted Assets” as the denominator, and makes an in-depth analysis of the facts respectively. As the internal capital growth capability was contained by limited room of retained earnings compounded with declining ROE, BoC issued multiple financing instruments to raise capital externally, with great delicacy in choosing suitable vehicles and calibration of timing. BoC implemented an internal rating-based approach to measure the credit risk, and rearranged the business structure based on the underlying risk parameters.
