“…Moreover, the situation worsened with the deterioration of economic activity because of the COVID-19 pandemic (ECB 2021a), and the ROE for the 2nd quarter of 2021 was less than 4% for the EU member states (ECB 2021b). While improvements are projected, the expected EU banks' ROE of 6% by 2022 is still much lower than the estimated median required ROE, which is close to 10% (Altavilla et al 2021). Moreover, the expected ROE for the EU banks is low in comparison with large US banks, whose ROE is expected to reach about 12% by 2022 (ECB 2021a).…”

“…4 There is ample empirical evidence that the cost of bank equity is considerably higher than the cost of bank debt, see e.g. Altavilla, Bochmann, De Ryck, Dumitru, Grodzicki, Kick, Fernandes, Mosthaf, O'Donnell, and Palligkinis (2021). Our model assumption of a zero Modigliani-Miller off-set between equity and debt funding costs is conservative and will tend to make higher bank capital requirements costly for banks.…”

“…Consequently, COE serves as a noteworthy measure not only for investors but also for regulatory and supervisory institutions. [15] explain that the CAPM-driven approach is popular among practitioners, especially investors, because there are no theoretically justified alternatives. However, in the empirical literature two decades ago, a consensus was established that the CAPM does not hold.…”
