General Banking Issues: Discussion
Mr. Eamonn Crowley:
Any unrealised losses are netted off against capital as well so although, from an accounting treatment, they may not be an NPL, the loss itself is reflected in the bank’s capital. The ECB is quite stringent on that whereas, if we look at what happened in the US, that was not the case, and in SEB’s case, it was not fully reflected in capital.
