 Bank for International Settlements - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
When a bank creates a deposit to fund a loan, its assets and liabilities increase equally, with no increase in equity.
It is important to note that the capital requirement applies to assets while the bank reserve requirement applies to liabilities." - from an extremely detailed and robust account of the use of reserve policy and other central bank powers in China by Henry C K Liu.
Accordingly the BIS requires bank capital/asset ratio to be above a prescribed minimum international standard, for the protection of all central banks involved.

 Day, Professor John Percival, Bank for International Settlements
The plan of the Bank was outlined in the Young Report; on the 14th of November, 1929 a special Organisation Committee at Baden Baden drafted and published the Charter of the Bank and we are now waiting for the necessary treaties between the Powers to provide the basis for the application of the trust agreement.
The Bank is to be located at Basle and to receive a charter from the Swiss government; its capital is to be 500 million Swiss francs, the subscription of which is guaranteed in equal parts by the Central Banks of the seven Powers concerned; Britain, Germany, France, Belgium, Italy, Japan and the United States.
In so far as the Bank is to be an organ of external administration of the German annuity payments, it is obvious that some such authority had to be established and that, when established and handling such large sums, it is bound to have considerable influence in the money markets of the World.
