The recent financial crisis has revealed a number of weaknesses in the existing capital adequacy rules. It is therefore important to impose stricter capital adequacy requirements for the banks, stress FI, the Swedish Ministry of Finance and the Riksbank (Sweden's central bank) in a joint response to the EU Commission's Capital Requirements Directive, CRD.
