    Regulatory capital levels for US banks hit another all-time high in the first quarter of 2012, with Tier 1 Common Capital reaching $1.4 trillion, a 38% increase since 2007. The Tier 1 Common Risk-Based Ratio also set a new record at 12%, reflecting greater capital reserves held by banks to protect against future losses. The steady rise in capital levels over the past two decades has strengthened the resiliency of the US banking system.
