After the Credit Crunch: The importance of Economic Capital and how to calculate it
John A Morrison is a Solution Architect in Risk Management. He is Director, Solution Partnerships of Union Legend (Asymptotix) and an advisor to REvolution Computing. He has published in December 2008 an important White Paper that is downloadable on our website. This is a White Paper about "Economic Capital", i.e. the amount of capital which a Financial Institution needs in order to survive in a worst case scenario.
Events of recent months prove that this is no longer an academic exercise. The Credit Crunch has seen Central Governments pumping fresh capital into the banks which were clearly undercapitalized and ill-prepared to deal with the crisis.

Are the key legislative pillars such as Basel II & III, UCITS IV and Solvency II forcing you to re-examine how you identify, measure and manage risk and capital?
