The capital adequacy framework sets out the approach for the computation of minimum capital required by a banking institution to operate as a going concern entity.

 

Capital adequacy is determined by using the Capital Adequacy Ratio.

 

Capital Adequacy Ratio is a measure of the amount of a Bank's Capital expressed as a percentage of its Risk-Weighted Assets and according to Basel1 it must be equal to or greater than8%.
