Interesting article... it appears that the U.S. will agree to implement this 7% equity against risk-weighted assets..... It's better than now, anyway.... I've heard that historically..... the equity to risk ratio was as high as 50%.... or more recently, 20%..... so the suggested 7% is likely too low also.... but, the U.S. banks balked even at this modest increase.....scum-bums...
