Following the 2023 AT1 shock, regulators in certain jurisdictions (such as the UK and EU) issued statements regarding the 'Creditor Hierarchy.'

What was the primary purpose of these statements?

  1. To declare that viability events would no longer be discretionary and would only be triggered by mechanical CET1 breaches.
  2. To set a maximum limit on the amount of AT1 a bank can hold relative to its CET1 capital to limit systemic spillover.
  3. To confirm that in their jurisdictions, common equity would be expected to absorb losses before AT1 and Tier 2 instruments.
  4. To announce that all future AT1 instruments would be required to have equity conversion features rather than write-down clauses.
