Operational risk and regulatory capital: do public and private banks differ?

In financial institutions, operational risk is viewed as a serious risk as it can have a considerable effect on profitability. The primary objective of this research is to discover methods of quantifying operational risk and regulatory capital in financial institutions, as well as any interrelationships between them. The research is based on a sample of public and private sector banks. The study demonstrates the capability of certain public sector banks to bear operational risk on a particular level of regulatory capital. The ability of a bank to be successful under unfavorable conditions is related to its operational risk, regulatory capital and management processes.
