Basel III
The Basel Committee, established
by the central-bank Governors of
the Group of Ten countries at the
end of 1974
Basel III
"Basel III" is a comprehensive set
of reform measures, developed by
the Basel Committee on Banking
Supervision, to strengthen the
regulation, supervision and risk
management of the banking
sector.
Basel III
These measures aim to:
Improve the banking sector's ability
to absorb shocks arising from
financial and economic stress,
whatever the source.
Improve risk management and
governance.
Strengthen banks' transparency and
disclosures.
Basel III
The reforms target:
Bank-level, or microprudential,
regulation, which will help raise
the resilience of individual banking
institutions to periods of stress.
Macroprudential, system wide
risks that can build up across the
banking sector as well as the
procyclical amplification of these
risks over time.
