AI Summary of Article 92 Own funds requirements

The regulations stipulate own funds requirements for institutions, mandating a Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 4.5%, a Tier 1 capital ratio of 6%, a total capital ratio of 8%, and a leverage ratio of 3%. Additionally, Global Systemically Important Institutions (G-SIIs) must maintain a leverage ratio buffer based on their total exposure measure, compliant exclusively with Tier 1 capital.

This includes overarching methodologies for both un-floored and standardised TREA, which encompass various risk-weighted exposure amounts across credit, market, operational, and counterparty credit risks, ensuring a robust regulatory framework.
