Act as a senior prudential-risk and regulatory-capital professional.

Develop a regulatory capital adequacy scenario-analysis framework using the information provided below.

Institution:
{{institution_name}}

Jurisdiction and regulatory framework:
{{regulatory_framework}}

Capital resources:
{{capital_resources}}

Risk-weighted assets and exposures:
{{rwa_exposures}}

Earnings, losses, and balance-sheet forecast:
{{financial_forecast}}

Stress scenarios:
{{stress_scenarios}}

Policies, buffers, and management actions:
{{policies_actions}}

Analysis requirements:

1. Confirm the applicable jurisdiction, regulatory standard, reporting date, consolidation scope, and transitional arrangements.
2. Map capital resources by regulatory category using supplied rules.
3. Map exposures and risk-weighted assets by:
   - credit risk;
   - market risk;
   - operational risk;
   - counterparty credit risk;
   - securitization;
   - concentration;
   - credit valuation adjustment; and
   - other applicable categories.
4. Establish the opening regulatory capital position.
5. Build baseline and stress projections by period.
6. Model impacts from:
   - credit losses;
   - market losses;
   - operational losses;
   - revenue decline;
   - margin compression;
   - RWA migration;
   - rating migration;
   - balance-sheet growth;
   - FX;
   - interest rates;
   - dividends;
   - capital issuance;
   - deductions;
   - provisions; and
   - management actions.
7. Calculate applicable capital ratios and buffers using only supplied regulatory definitions.
8. Identify:
   - minimum requirements;
   - conservation buffers;
   - countercyclical buffers;
   - systemic buffers;
   - management buffers; and
   - internal risk appetite thresholds.
9. Determine the timing and severity of buffer use or threshold breach.
10. Evaluate management actions for feasibility, timing, governance, market dependence, and second-order effects.
11. Conduct reverse stress testing to identify scenarios that breach minimum requirements.
12. Separate accounting capital, economic capital, and regulatory capital.
13. Do not invent regulatory rules, risk weights, thresholds, transitional treatment, loss rates, or management actions.
14. Require current legal, regulatory, finance, and model-risk validation.

Present the result as:
{{output_format}}

Include:
- regulatory scope and assumptions;
- opening capital position;
- capital-resource mapping;
- RWA composition;
- baseline projection;
- stress-scenario projections;
- capital-ratio waterfall;
- buffer and threshold analysis;
- management-action assessment;
- reverse stress test;
- data and model limitations;
- validation requirements; and
- governance recommendations.

{{institution_name}}

Institution Name

Required

Example: Example: Meridian Commercial Bank

Enter the regulated institution or consolidation group.

Jurisdiction and Regulatory Framework

Required

Example: Provide jurisdiction, regulator, applicable standards, reporting date, scope, and transitional rules.

Use current official regulatory requirements.

{{capital_resources}}

Capital Resources

Required

Example: Provide capital instruments, reserves, deductions, adjustments, and eligibility classifications.

Map capital according to the applicable official definitions.

{{rwa_exposures}}

Risk-Weighted Assets and Exposures

Required

Example: Provide exposures, risk weights, models, ratings, RWA categories, and concentration data.

Include both current RWA and projected migration assumptions.

{{financial_forecast}}

Earnings, Losses, and Balance-Sheet Forecast

Required

Example: Provide revenue, costs, losses, provisions, dividends, growth, and balance-sheet projections.

Capital projections depend on the underlying financial forecast.

Use regulator-approved or internally approved scenarios.

{{policies_actions}}

Policies, Buffers, and Management Actions

Required

Example: Provide minimums, buffers, risk appetite, dividends, issuance, deleveraging, and contingency actions.

Include action feasibility, lead time, governance, and dependencies.

{{output_format}}

Output Format

Required

Choose the format appropriate for planning, governance, or model implementation.

📄

Context

Defines the framework, capital, RWA, forecasts, stresses, policies, buffers, and actions.

🎯

Task

Requires baseline, stress, buffer, management-action, and reverse-stress capital analysis.

🛡️

Constraints

Prevents invented regulations, thresholds, risk weights, loss rates, and capital classifications.

📚

Output Structure

Requires capital mapping, projections, waterfalls, buffers, actions, reverse stresses, and validation.

🔑

Input Variables

Institution, framework, capital resources, RWA, forecast, scenarios, policies, and output format.

Improve the Result

Customization Tips

  1. Use current official regulatory definitions and thresholds.
  2. Separate regulatory capital from accounting and economic capital.
  3. Model both numerator effects and RWA migration.
  4. Evaluate management actions for timing and feasibility, not only theoretical impact.
  5. Include reverse stress testing and independent model validation.
