    Solution

    Tier 2 Capital : represents “supplementary capital” such as undisclosed reserves, revaluation reserves, general loan-loss reserves, hybrid (debt/equity) capital instruments, and subordinated debt of the financial institution. Tier 2 Capital is generally less reliable or secure than Tier 1 capital, and therefore must be considered separately when evaluating the riskiness of a bank
