The baseline for comparison and analysis is the current factor weighting 40 per cent for membership, 5 per cent for population and 55 per cent for contribution.

The reliance of modern banking regulation on risk weighting is nowhere more important than in the mortgage market. If regulators get it wrong, the entire edifice could collapse yet again.

When the problems with the Reinhart Rogoff analysis came to light, the critics were aghast. The authors had inadvertently omitted data, used a questionable weighting scheme, and employed an erroneous observation on GDP growth.

At the request of the General Assembly, a system of weighting of posts was introduced in 1967 and reported on every year in the report of the Secretary General on the composition of the Secretariat.

The new orthodoxy places its faith in regulators ability to improve on banks measurement of risk, while leaving the structure of the banking system unchanged. But, when it comes to upping equity requirements against risk weighted assets, who is to do the weighting, and according to what methodology?
