Capital Adequacy DirectiveThe Capital Adequacy Directive is a European directive that aims to establish uniform capital requirements for both banking firms and non-bank securities firms.The original 93/6/EEC ('CAD1') directive was amended by /EEC ('CAD2'), to incorporate banks' own estimate of capital using value-at-risk techniques. Annex 1 models were virtually unchanged by CAD2, so there has been no change in the CAD1 regime.
