It's Denmark, not the Netherlands we are talking about. Your intuition seems correct [1]. The 1% capital requirement in the Reuters article must be an add-on requirement and is to low to be the stand-alone requirement. Fitch put Danske at 4.2% Basel III 'fully loaded' last summer. The wiki points out how diverse the calculations can turn out so that it's pretty much pears and apples comparing these internationally.

- venantius 8y agoThe 1% refers to a specific sub-segment of the overall capital requirements. This would be on top of any normal Basel III requirements and is typically marked as a "discretionary" capital buffer to be set by the state in question. EDIT: Ah, nuts, meant to reply to grandparent rather than parent. Oh well.
