Sommario/riassunto

This book attempts to answer the question of how CoCos differ from convertible bonds, and how these instruments are suitable for contributing as core capital under Basel III. The place ability of CoCos and the challenges resulting from their use are discussed in this book.



Overall a comprehensive picture of the impacts resulting from the new capital definitions will be created. The  Background to the introduction of Basel III is described at the beginning of the book, in addition to a presentation of the Basel III document and the new capital definitions. To create a kind of basic understandin
