I remember studying that economic capital is not determined by external rules, so I think that's definitely not correct.

I think economic capital is related to the risks a bank takes, but I'm not sure if it's just about their own estimates.

I'm a little confused by the wording of these options. I'll have to re-read them a few times to make sure I understand the differences between them.
