CONT

[…] en el sector de valores el capital sirve de colchón principal frente a las pérdidas. Los bancos mantienen tanto provisiones para insolvencias, destinadas a cubrir las pérdidas previsibles, como capital para cubrir las insolvencias imprevistas. Por lo general, el capital bancario representa una proporción más alta del balance que las provisiones para insolvencias.
