Prudential Capital Assessment Review (PCAR)

Central Bank of Ireland

In November 2011 the Government of Ireland agreed a programme of support with the EU, IMF and ECB (the โ€œTroikaโ€) which is to cover the years 2011 to 2013. Under the terms of this programme, the Central Bank was mandated to carry out an annual review of the national banking sector, the first of which took place in H1 2011. Further details on the support programme may be found here:
http://www.finance.gov.ie/documents/publications/reports/2011/euimfrevised.pdf.
The reviews take two parts: 1) stress testing: a forecast of future loan losses, their impact upon the capital adequacy of the banks and calculation of the required capital injection to ensure the banksโ€™ meet the agreed minimum capital standards; and 2) deleveraging: a reduction of the size of the banksโ€™ balance sheet and the establishment of a sustainable national banking sector. The output from the 2011 review may be found here:
