Any risk, even if perfectly perceived, cause the wrong reactions, if excessively considered.

Tuesday, March 3, 2020 5:05

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

Sir, I refer to Patrick Jenkins “In our warming world, stranded energy assets are a growing concern” March 3. It evidences the difficulties in understanding how bankers adjust to risks, before and after the introduction of risk weighted bank capital requirements.

The current risk weighted bank capital requirements, which are based on that what’s perceived as risky is more dangerous to our bank systems than what’s perceived safe, only guarantees too much exposures to what’s “safe” and too little to what’s “risky”. So now banks, while “goose herds and whaling ships” are perceived as safe, run the risk of building up too large exposures that are harder to manage when these begin to look risky.

Therefore, in the old days, before these regulatory distortions, banks were able to handle much better than now any slowly becoming apparent perceived risks, like with “goose herds and whaling ships”.

What was more dangerous then, and MUCH more dangerous now, is of course the unexpected… like coronavirus.

Again Sir, for the umpteenth time, before, for around 600 years, banks cleared for perceived risk by means of interest rates and size of exposures. But then the Basel Committee instructed banks to clear for exactly those same risks, in the capital too. Sadly Sir, any risk, even if perfectly perceived, cause the wrong reactions, if excessively considered.
