CEBS questionnaire on own funds

Date: 14/11/2005

CEBS has received a call for advice (CfA No. 4(a)) from the European Commission on the review of the definition of own funds in which it is mandated to carry out an analysis of the capital instruments recently launched by the industry and to set out its views on the lessons to be learned about trends in the quality of regulatory capital. CEBS is publishing a questionnaire to get an input from the banking industry and other market participants. Comments should be sent to of@c-ebs.org by 10 February 2006.
