Basel III : The opportunity to get it right
The Basel III regime - introduced by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision following the financial crisis - outlines new regulatory standards on capital and liquidity for banks across the world.
Basel III has had a significant impact across the industry as banks not only have to achieve technical compliance with the new rules and ratios but they also have to realign their business models in order to succeed in the new regime.
Several measures must be implemented by the beginning of 2013, including new regulations for counterparty credit risk and minimum core Tier 1 ratios, and for this reason many firms are making Basel III compliance an immediate priority.
