	SUBORDINATED DEBT: A CAPITAL MARKETS APPROACH TO BANK REGULATION
		Banks are distinctive in that they tend to have relatively little equity when compared to other firms—banks tend to receive ninety percent of their capital funding from debt.
		Bank runs have been viewed as potentially troubling not only because of their capacity to harm otherwise healthy and well-managed banking institutions on an individual basis, but also because individual bank failures pose a systemic risk to the banking system and the broader economy.
		Bank regulators will easily be able to monitor these prices and could impose restrictions on banks with falling debt prices similar to those dictated by the prompt corrective action rules—restrictions on payment of dividends, acquisition of assets and engagement in new lines of business.

	[No title]
		After all, with record profits and strong capitalization, the banking industry is in its best condition in years, and recent changes in bank regulation will certainly help avoid a repeat of the problems of the last decade.
		Banks bear not only the direct costs of complying with regulations, but also the indirect costs of regulations that could put them at a disadvantage to other types of financial institutions.
		Specifically, banks that have deposits at correspondents who are classified as less than adequately capitalized must limit their interday credit exposure to no more than 25 percent of their capital.

	FRB: Testimony, Greenspan--Bank regulation--March 11, 2005
		Banking supervision is intended to be flexible and to be carried out case by case; it is designed to limit--not eliminate--the risk of failure.
		Regulations, on the other hand, prescribe and proscribe what must be done and what may not be done in specific areas, and most reflect past events.
		Bank regulations and supervisory oversight are designed to reinforce the building of systems and the development and application of bank policies, both of which are to highlight for management what could be suspicious or unlawful activity by customers and employees, the basis of the SARs reports.

	Bank Regulation and Supervision
		Banks that mobilize and allocate savings efficiently, allocate capital to endeavors with the highest expected social returns, and exert sound governance over funded firms foster innovation and growth.
		Well-functioning banks that extend credit to those with the best projects, rather than to the wealthy or to those with familial, political, or corrupt connections, exert an equalizing affect on the distribution of income and a disproportionately positive impact on the poor by de-linking good ideas and ability from past accumulation of wealth and associations.
		We have not exploited all aspects of the database on bank regulation and supervision and considerably more research is needed on designing strategies for reforming banking policies in ways that enhance the operation of banks and improve social welfare.

		Banks that believe they will need additional flexibility for their personal trust and retirement business should provide a detailed explanation of the type of relief they believe would be useful and discuss the sources of their compensation in connection with that business.

	Bank regulation and the credit crunch
		This study investigates the direct link between regulatory enforcement actions and the shrinkage of bank loans to sectors likely to be bank dependent.
		Controlling for weakness in loan demand, previous studies have been able to attribute part of this bank shrinkage to loan supply, with the degree of a bank’s shrinkage related to its capital-to-asset ratio.
		We find that banks with formal actions shrink at a significantly faster rate than those without, even after controlling for differences in capital-to-asset ratios.

		It provides striking evidence (using a unique data set created at the World Bank) that strengthening the discretionary powers of prudential supervisors in countries with weak institutional environments leads to a lower level of bank development, greater corruption in lending, and banks that are less safe and sound.
		Following the Basel II recommendation of strengthening supervisory powers, therefore, may do more harm than good in developing countries, unless it is accompanied by substantial progress in institutional development.
