Why additional tier 1 contingent convertible bonds matter to banks
Apri Sya’bani (The Jakarta Post) PREMIUM Jakarta ● Mon, March 27, 2023 The role of Additional Tier 1 (AT1) contingent convertible bonds, also known as CoCos, in the regulatory framework of the banking sector are designed to serve as a shock absorber during times of economic distress and are required by banking regulators as part of the capital structure of banks. As a component of financial-sector reform implemented in the wake of the global financial crisis, banks have been required to maintain various levels of capital, divided into tiers, which function as shock absorbers during times of economic distress. Common equity tier 1 capital is at the very top, followed by AT1 capital, which typically consists of hybrid bonds. Beneath this is tier 2 capital, which includes subordinated debt.
