Abstract

The financial crisis and the proposed changes in bank regulation seem to have inverted the trend of declining capital ratios and lower quality capital base which emerged from 2005 to 2007, especially for large Italian listed banks, and have stopped the generous dividend payouts. The recent improvement in capital adequacy have reflected retained earnings, new capital issues and, to a lesser extent, capital injections from the State.
