BPR110 Capital Definitions

The Reserve Bank of New Zealand issued BPR110 to define the capital components and eligibility criteria banks must use for calculating regulatory capital ratios. The document establishes detailed requirements for Common Equity Tier 1, Additional Tier 1, and Tier 2 capital, including specific deductions and transitional phase-out schedules for legacy instruments. It also outlines the recognition of minority interests and capital instruments issued by special purpose vehicles to ensure accurate capital adequacy monitoring.
