Core capital/RWA---> 8% plus 2.5% Capital Conservation Buffer
Total capital/RWA---> 12% plus 2.5% Capital Conservation Buffer
Banks have been given 24 months to meet the 2.5% Capital Conservation Buffer (either via retained earnings or other capital raising method).
What is more, the NIC's core capital/RWA ratio already has enough headroom. Total capital/RWA has some room and can be improved further via Tier I or
via Tier II capital (e.g debt).
