In the context of business and banking, what is CRAR?

  • A.Capital to Risk Asset Ratio
  • B.Credit to Risk Asset Ratio
  • C.Credit to Risk Assessment Ratio
  • D.Credit Rate Asset Ratio

Answer: A

Correct answer: Capital to Risk Asset Ratio

CRAR is the Capital to Risk-weighted Assets Ratio - a bank’s capital as a proportion of its assets, each weighted by how risky it is:

\[ \text{CRAR} = \frac{\text{Tier I} + \text{Tier II capital}}{\text{Risk-weighted assets}} \]

Weighting by risk is the point: a government security counts for little and an unsecured loan for a great deal. It is the central measure of a bank’s capacity to absorb losses.
