The Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process ICAAP – a New Challenge for the Romanian Banking System
The Bucharest Academy of Economic Studies
Abstract.
In the near future, Romanian banks will have to implement the
second pillar of the Basel II (ICAAP) Agreement. Given this new challenge (in
addition to the ongoing economic and financial crisis), my article analyzes
and presents both the main requirements of the process, in compliance with
the NBR regulation draft, as well as some of the principles and methods used
by advanced banks.
Thus, I’ve analyzed some of the methods for the assessment of economic
capital requirements for credit, market and operational risks (while also explaining
the difference between economic capital and regulatory capital), based
on the theory of unexpected losses, sustained by case studies.
