hard · Frm Part 2 Operational Risk

A regulator is debating between using the Credit-to-GDP gap or a 'Credit Growth' metric as the primary CCyB guide.

What is a key advantage of the Gap over the Growth metric?

  1. The Gap is a point-in-time (PIT) metric, while growth is through-the-cycle (TTC).
  2. The Gap ignores the shadow banking system, which simplifies data collection.
  3. The Gap is easier to calculate because it does not require an HP filter.
  4. The Gap normalizes credit levels by the size of the economy, preventing a high-growth but low-leverage economy from triggering the buffer prematurely.
