Equity capital

Japanese: 自己資本
Equity capital
In the narrow sense, it is synonymous with shareholder's equity. Equity capital is one of the elements that make up the credit items in the balance sheet, and credit items can be divided into borrowed capital and equity capital. Unlike borrowed capital, equity capital has no obligation to repay and is certain, just like core equity capital such as shareholder's equity. For the stability of management, it is very important to have a sufficient equity capital in order to secure the confidence of investors such as shareholders. In recent years, new equity capital that meets the requirements for equity capital has been created using advanced financial technology, and the proportion of this equity capital in equity capital has been increasing. In Japan, equity capital should be something that is essentially certain, but the proportion of equity capital that is not, such as tax-effect capital, is increasing, which is a concern. Equity capital according to the BIS regulation is the "capital section" of the accounting document regulations of the Commercial Code, plus a certain percentage of the unrealized gains of stocks held. More specifically, it is a collective term that includes "basic items" (Tier 1) such as capital, statutory reserves, and retained earnings, plus "supplementary items" (Tier 2) such as 45% of unrealized gains on securities, 45% of unrealized gains on real estate, loan loss reserves, and subordinated loans. Since 2004, banks have been unable to hold stocks that exceed the basic items (Tier 1) in terms of the total amount of target stocks valued at market value (deducting any valuation losses that have occurred). This is also the reason why banks are currently rushing to sell cross-held shares.

Japanese:
狭義において、株主資本と同義である。自己資本は、貸借対照表における貸方項目を構成する要素のひとつで、貸方項目は、他人資本と自己資本に分けられる。自己資本は、他人資本とは異なって、株主資本など中核となる自己資本がそうであるように、返済の義務がなく、また確実性があるものである。経営の安定性上、自己資本の充実は、株主等の出資者に対して信認を確保するために、非常に重要である。近年は、高度な金融技術を使うなど、自己資本の要件を満たした新しい自己資本が創出され、これらの自己資本に占める比率が上昇している。日本においては、自己資本は、本来確実性があるものでなければならないが、税効果資本などそうではない自己資本が、占める比率が上昇しており、懸念事項となっている。BIS規制の定義による自己資本は、商法の計算書類規則である「資本の部」に、保有する株式の含み益の一定割合などを加えたものをいう。詳細は、資本金・法定準備金・利益剰余金などの「基本的項目」(Tier1)と、有価証券含み益の45%・不動産含み益の45%・貸倒引当金・劣後ローンなどの「補完的項目」(Tier2)を加えたものの総称をいう。銀行は、平成16年から、自己資本比率規制上、時価で評価した対象株式の保有総量(評価損が生じている場合には、これを控除)について、基本的項目(Tier1)を超える株式を保有できなくなる。このことは、現在、銀行が持ち合い株式の売却を急いでいる理由ともなっている。
