Abstract: La convergencia en las nomas del coeficiente de recursos propios ha sido una de las cuestiones más relevantes de la Europa de los ochenta. Este documento investiga la naturaleza y la importancia del coeficiente de recursos propios de los bancos comerciales de Europa después del 92. Se sugiere que no se le puede restar importancia, pero que tampoco se puede sobrestimar su impacto singular. Los problemas estratégicos y administrativos requieren un conocimiento adicional más allá de la regulación del coeficiente de recursos propios. In Europe the convergence of capital adequacy rules has been one of the biggest issues during the 1980s. This paper explores the nature and importance of capital adequacy for commercial banks in the Europe beyond 1992. It is suggested that this importance cannot be denied but that its singular impact may been overstated. Strategic and managerial problems require additional knowledge beyond capital adequacy regulation.
