U.S. banking regulators will on Thursday unveil a sweeping proposal for stricter bank capital requirements known as the "Basel III endgame" aimed at ensuring the stability of big banks under international rules rolled out after the 2008 financial crisis.
Holding more RWA will require banks to set aside more capital under the new standards.
Most of the need to raise capital would come from assessments of the bank's operational risks and their trading books.
