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