考点：the capital conservation buffer
解析：
The capital conservation buffer旨在金融危机时保护银行, I 正确。
正常情况下，对于Tier 1 equity capital，银行必须建立2.5%的buffer来cover银行在金融危机时的损失，即在正常情况下，Tier 1 equity capital的最低要求为7%（4.5%+2.5%=7%），total Tier 1 capital为8.5%，Tier 1和Tier 2为10.5%。II 正确。
The capital conservation buffer是监管要求，不是由各国的监管机构自行决定的，III 错误。
老师在tier 1 capital当中，有个核心资本core tier 1 capital ，是不是也叫euqity tier 1 capital
