higher capital requirements for banks – Less Small Business Lending

New rules to strengthen banks' capital requirements for banks is good for the economy in the long run, due to a strong economy can not function without a healthy banking system. But as useful as this sector is essential for the long term, it will place even more pressure on small businesses. The rules of going to gradually fade, but I know that it is virtually certain to make some banks are starting to limit the supply of riskier loansThe debtors, and one of the more risky for banks in small businesses. Thus lack of credit (read lack of funds for growth, recruitment, etc.) will continue to hamper small businesses in the future.

The new rules mandate that by the year 2013, the bank announced a strong Tier 1 capital for capital increase of 4 to 4.5% of assets. This would be an emergency reserve of 2.5%.

But this is always the scenario that will be on the watch, even if the contractor has done a brilliant jobmaintain the current activity.
