Measuring Real Capital Adequacy in Extreme Economic Conditions： An Examination of the Swiss Banking Sector

The global financial crisis （GFC） has placed the creditworthiness of banks under intense scrutiny. In particular, capital adequacy has been called into question. Current capital requirements make no allowance for capital erosion caused by movements in the market value of assets.

Conditional Value at Risk （CVaR） and Conditional Probability of Default （CPD） techniques are used to measure capital erosion.

Capital adequacy recommendations are formulated which distinguish between real and nominal capital based on asset fluctuations.
