+ “Making Great Ideas Become Reality” Basel lll Summary

+ Basel lll 2 BASEL III is a global regulatory standard on bank capital adequacy, stress testing and market liquidity risk agreed upon by the members of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervisoion in 2010 -11. This, the third of the Basel Accords which was developed in response to the deficiencies in financial regulation revealed by the late-2000 s financial crisis Basel III strengthens bank capital requirements and introduces new regulatory requirements on bank liquidity and bank leverage For instance, the change in the calculation of loan risk in Basel II which some consider a causal factor in the credit bubble prior to the 2007 -8 collapse: in Basel II one of the principal factors of financial risk management was out-sourced to companies that were not subject to supervision: credit rating agencies. Ratings of creditworthiness and of bonds, financial bundles and various other financial instruments were conducted without supervision by official agencies, leading to AAA ratings on mortgage-backed securities, credit default swaps and other instruments that proved in practice to be extremely bad credit risks. In Basel III a more formal scenario analysis is applied (three official scenarios from regulators, with ratings agencies and firms urged to apply more extreme ones).

+ Basel lll 3 (cont) Overview Basel III will require banks to hold 4. 5% of common equity (up from 2% in Basel II) and 6% of Tier I capital (up from 4% in Basel II) of risk-weighted assets (RWA). Basel III also introduces additional capital buffers, (i) a mandatory capital conservation buffer of 2. 5% and (ii) a discretionary countercyclical buffer, which allows national regulators to require up to another 2. 5% of capital during periods of high credit growth. In addition, Basel III introduces a minimum 3% leverage ratio and two required liquidity ratios. The Liquidity Coverage Ratio requires a bank to hold sufficient high-quality liquid assets to cover its total net cash outflows over 30 days; the Net Stable Funding Ratio requires the available amount of stable funding to exceed the required amount of stable funding over a one-year period of extended stress
