Anticipating changes in bank capital buffer requirements Staff analytical note 2025-27 Josef Schroth Time-varying capital buffer requirements are a powerful tool that allow bank regulators to avoid severe financial stress without the cost of imposing very high levels of capital.

I present a model that banks and financial market participants can use to anticipate how time-varying capital buffer requirements change over time.
