Banks will beat Basel III for all the wrong reasons - Financial Times

Quick Summary:

If banks were to issue new shares to raise equity to the authors’ preferred levels — 2-3 times the current amount — share count and equity would rise dramatically while growth expectations would presumably be unchanged.

We know what the long-term economic benefit of lower systemic risk from higher equity levels at banks proposed by Admati and Hellwig would be.

In particular, it’s worth considering why one of the most influential books written about banking and systemic risk in the post-2008 era — which urged much higher equity levels at banks — has failed to influence policy.
