FACTBOX-Capital levels of Asia's top banks

Banks will need to hold more capital under new standards to be laid out 

on Sunday aimed at making lenders resilient enough to withstand 

another financial crisis. 

Banks are expected to be given more than five years to implement the
changes. Most Asian banks already hold Tier 1 capital well above the expected
minimum levels, though some in Japan may find it tougher to meet the new
requirements.

Banks in Indonesia and Singapore look to be in the strongest position,
having an average core Tier 1 ratio of around 12.5 percent and 11.9 percent,
respectively.

The following are the core Tier 1 capital levels of Asia's top banks:
