medium · Frm Part 2 Liquidity & Treasury Risk
A bank has 100bn of securities classified as 'Held-to-Maturity' (HTM).
If interest rates rise and the market value of these securities drops to85bn, what is the immediate impact on the bank's regulatory Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital?
- CET1 capital immediately drops by $15bn to reflect the economic loss.
- CET1 increases because the bank's future interest income will be higher due to rising rates.
- There is zero immediate impact on regulatory CET1 because HTM securities are carried at amortized cost.
- The bank must reclassify the assets as 'Available-for-Sale' and take a 15% haircut on its RWA.
