Cyclical Implications of Changing Bank Capital Requirements Mario Catalán* International Monetary Fund (IMF) Prepared for the IADB - Atlanta Fed Conference “Toward Better Banking in Latin America” Washington D.C, September 30, 2005 * The views expressed in this presentation are those of the author and should not be attributed to the International Monetary Fund, its Executive Board, or its management.

2 Introduction  Question: How should regulators set bank capital requirements in different phases of the business cycle?  Widespread (standard) view: Bank capital requirements should be loosened during recessions and tightened during expansions to avoid excessive credit and output fluctuations (pro-cyclicality)

3 Standard View  Bank’s initial balance sheet: AssetsLiabilities LoansCapital Cash Deposits CAR > 0.08 AssetsLiabilities Loans Cash Capital Deposits Loan write-offs CAR < 0.08 Capital Risk-weighted assets CAR = Loans Cash Capital Deposits CAR = 0.08  To satisfy the capital requirement... further loan reductions  Effects of recession:  Amplification of the credit crunch and the recession

4 Standard View  Policy prescription: Capital requirements should be reduced in recessions—in response to loan write-offs Drawbacks  Bank insolvencies are more likely (fiscal costs, deposit insurance losses)  It ignores the effects of capital requirement policies on the consumption-saving decisions of households

5 Our Paper  Focus: effects of capital requirement policies on the (inter- temporal) consumption-saving decisions of households  Findings:  Capital requirements should be increased in response to negative loan supply shocks (loan write-offs).  This policy provides stronger incentives to save and allows a more rapid recovery of bank loans and output.

7 “Impact” Effects of Increasing Capital Requirements Equity-Deposit Spread Deposits Equity-Deposit Spread Bank Equity c0c0 c1c1 c1c1 c0c0

8 Unanticipated and Permanent Reduction in Productivity in Unrestricted (U) and Restricted (R) Models

9  Findings:  Capital requirements should be lowered in response to negative productivity (loan demand) shocks.  This policy amplifies the output decline but enhances welfare by releasing deposit liquidity, thus facilitating households’ dissaving during times of low productivity.

10 Basel II: The Standard View and Our Paper Probability of Default (PD) Capital Charge Basel II Std view (recessions) Our paper (recessions)

11 Conclusions  We study the inter-temporal effects of bank capital requirement policies on households’ savings, bank credit and output.  We find that bank capital requirements should be increased in response to negative loan supply shocks and decreased in response to negative loan demand shocks.  These results contrast, but are not incompatible, with those of the standard view.  There is a trade-off: lowering capital requirements in recessions may prevent second-round loan supply reductions (benefit), but it may also discourage savings and thus delay the recovery of loans and output (cost).  For policy purposes, we raise a red flag. Cost-benefit trade-offs suggest that policymakers should exercise great caution before implementing policies consistent with the standard view.  Given our limited (quantitative) knowledge of these trade-offs, we advocate maintaining capital requirements constant in all phases of the business cycle.
