Regulators have put too much faith in complex, untried parts of the post-crisis capital structure when imposing higher requirements for bank equity could have been a simpler and more robust approach, David Miles said today (July 4).

The former Bank of England official said rules such as total loss-absorbing capacity (TLAC) and the resolution framework had been drafted in to compensate for minimum levels of risk-weighted capital that were below estimates of the socially optimum level.
