Fed's Kashkari's plan to increase capital requirements on the biggest banks

A piece in the Wall Street Journal, written by Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis President Neel Kashkari

• There's a straightforward way to help prevent the next financial crisis, fix the too-big-to-fail problem, and still relax regulations on community lenders: increase capital requirements for the largest banks.
• In November, the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, which I lead, announced a draft proposal to do precisely that. Our plan would increase capital requirements on the biggest banks-those with assets over $250 billion-to at least 23.5%. It would reduce the risk of a taxpayer bailout to less than 10% over the next century.
