Summary:

Provides overview of capital adequacy regulation, which requires banks to hold enough reserves to maintain minimum levels of capital-asset ratios. Discusses Basel Capital Accords and enhanced safety and soundness requirements under P.L. 111-203, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (Dodd-Frank). Reviews U.S. implementation of Basel III, and various Dodd-Frank requirements. Examines whether higher capital requirements curb lending, systemic risks, or both.
