To address the capital adequacy requirements specified by regulatory standards, evaluate which capital demand Bank LGX meets as of January 2017, considering both the regulatory guidelines and the bank's performance metrics.
Explanation:
The correct answer is D, which indicates that Bank LGX satisfies the Total capital ratio and CET1 capital ratio only as of January 2017. The bank's CET1 capital ratio is calculated as 5.74%, which exceeds the minimum requirement of 5.25%. However, the bank's leverage ratio is 3.40%, which does not meet the 4.0% minimum requirement. The Tier 1 capital ratio stands at 6.12%, falling short of the 6.75% minimum requirement. Lastly, the Total capital ratio is 9.25%, which meets and exceeds the 8.75% minimum requirement. Therefore, Bank LGX only meets the Total capital ratio and CET1 capital ratio benchmarks, but not the Leverage ratio or Tier 1 capital ratio benchmarks.
