(a) Adequacy. A member bank’s capital, calculated in accordance with part 217, shall
be at all times adequate in relation to the character and condition
liabilities and other corporate responsibilities. If at any time, in light of
all the circumstances, the bank’s capital appears inadequate in relation to
its assets, liabilities, and responsibilities, the bank shall increase the
amount of its capital, within such period as the Board deems reasonable, to
an amount which, in the judgment of the Board, shall be
adequate.
(b) Standards for evaluating capital adequacy. Standards and measures, by which the Board evaluates the capital
adequacy of member banks for risk-based capital purposes and for leverage
measurement purposes, are located in part 217 of this
chapter.
