So a second measure to consider is its levels of risk-weighted assets (RWAs), in which the size of the balance-sheet is adjusted to reflect its riskiness.
What is evaluated by individual owners of money that is transferred through financial institutions is the riskiness and earnings prospects of the financial institutions themselves.
It has helped reduce risks or at least ameliorated the overall riskiness of the financial system because, like I said, we have centuries of horrible experiences of banking crises.
