Basel III is the regulator’s attempt to address the lessons learnt from the 2007-8-9 financial crises. In it, many of the policy changes previously mentioned by commentators and regulators have been included. Not ALL have been implemented as initially advertised. Basel III represents a significant tightening of the regulatory rules and will impact almost every business model throughout the financial sector.

Selwyn Blair-Ford, Head of Global Regulatory Policy - FRSGlobal, covered the main issues (below) and also gave analysis of how the change in capital structure could impact financial institutions.

Main issues:

  • Capital
  • Risk coverage
  • Leverage ratio
  • Capital buffers
  • Liquidity standards
  • Transitional arrangements

This webinar answered questions raised in every financial institution:

  • “What are the impacts of the new, more stringent rules around allowable capital on your enterprise?”
  • “Are you clear on the additional risk charges your firm will face as a result of the Basel III changes?”
  • “Leverage ratio represents a significant tightening around the risks financial firms will be allowed to take – do you understand how the leverage ratio could potentially impact your organisation?”
  • “How will the penalties associated to capital buffers operate?”
