Wait, are we sure it's only banks? Corporates have their own rules too.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like corporates might also borrow for regulatory reasons, especially if they have debt covenants.

I'm a bit confused on this one. I know regulatory capital is important for banks, but do their borrowings really come down to that? I'm not as confident in my answer as I'd like to be. Maybe I should review the material on bank capital requirements again.

Okay, let's see. Banks, corporates, governments, and supranationals all have borrowings, but I think the key here is which ones are most likely to be driven by regulatory capital requirements. That points to banks, so I'll go with option A.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. I know banks have to meet certain capital requirements, but I'm not sure if that's the main driver of their borrowings. I might need to think this through a bit more.
