Chapter 7 in Financial Cycles, 2015, pp 131-152 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract After a period of seven years spent in an economic and financial crisis, bank regulators look forward to a stronger industry by way of improved capital positions, a reduction in risk-weighted assets (RWA, chapter 9), and a rebuilding of the banks’ balance sheets primarily through retained earnings promoted by a recovery in bank profitability.
