NEW ZEALAND
NEW ZEALAND: The Reserve Bank of New Zealand "has increased its supervisory
monitoring of the Bank of New Zealand (BNZ) and applied precautionary
adjustments to its capital requirements following the identification of
weaknesses in BNZ's capital calculation processes. BNZ identified a number of
errors while undertaking a programme of remediation, which began in early 2018
and is expected to continue into 2020. These included three capital calculation
errors, which resulted in misreported risk weighted assets over a number of
years. It is now required to increase the risk weight floor of its operational
risk capital model from $350 million to $600 million capital. The $250m increase
is a supervisory capital overlay."
