【 摘 要 】
Excessive leverage by banks is widelybelieved to have contributed to the global financial crisis.To address this, the international community has proposedthe adoption of a non-risk-based capital measure, theleverage ratio, as an additional prudential tool tocomplement minimum capital adequacy requirements. Itsadoption can reduce the risk of excessive leverage buildingup in individual entities and in the financial system as awhole. The leverage ratio has inherent limitations, however,and should therefore be considered as just one of a set ofmacro- and micro-prudential policy tools.
