问题     Capital is at the top of any bank supervisor’s list. The most basic form of capital is equity capital, which is the shareholder’s financial interest or net worth. Equity capital serves several purposes: it provides a permanent source of revenue for the shareholders and funding for the bank; it is available to bear risk and absorb losses; it provides a base for further growth; and it gives the share-holders reason to ensure that the bank is managed in a safe and sound manner. Minimum capital adequacy ratios are necessary to reduce the risk of loss to depositors, creditors and other stakeholders of the bank and to help supervisors pursue the overall stability of the banking industry.
    Basle Committee’s "core principles for effective banking supervision" require that supervisions set prudent and appropriate minimum capital adequacy requirements and encourage banks to operate with capital in excess of the minimum. When it appears appropriate due to the particular risk profile, uncertainties regarding the asset quality, risk concentrations or other adverse characteristics of a bank’s financial condition, considerations of requiring higher than minimum capital ratios are encouraged. If a bank’s ratio falls below the minimum, banking supervisions will act to ensure that it has realistic plans to restore the minimum in a timely fashion, or may consider putting additional restrictions on the bank’s operations.
Which of the following is not the purpose of equity capital?
选项 A、Providing a permanent source of revenue.
B、Bearing risks and absorbing losses.
C、Disclosing reserves.
D、Facilitating further growth.
答案C
解析 文章第一段提到Equity capital serves several purposes:....the bank is managed in a safe and sound manner。权益资本的目的在于为股东提供永久的收入来源，并为银行提供了资金；使银行能够承担一定风险并能承受损失；为银行未来进一步增长提供基础；让股东能确信银行能够安全、健康地经营管理。
