Although Basel I was beneficial to bank supervision, the time had come to move to a more sophisticated regulatory framework. The Basel II proposal was the answer to those shortcomings as we shall see in the next article of the series. Market Realist is a registered trademark.
From , the Committee turned its attention to improvements in the calculation of capital requirements. The risk-based capital requirements set out in the Basel II framework were expanded to cover:. The Committee completed its Basel III post-crisis reforms in , with the publication of new standards for the calculation of capital requirements for credit risk, credit valuation adjustment risk and operational risk. The final reforms also include a revised leverage ratio, a leverage ratio buffer for global systemically important banks and an output floor, based on the revised standardised approaches, which limits the extent to which banks can use internal models to reduce risk-based capital requirements.
These final reforms address shortcomings of the pre-crisis regulatory framework and provide a regulatory foundation for a resilient banking system that supports the real economy.
A key objective of the revisions was to reduce excessive variability of risk-weighted assets RWA. At the peak of the global financial crisis, a wide range of stakeholders lost faith in banks' reported risk-weighted capital ratios. The Committee's own empirical analyses also highlighted a worrying degree of variability in banks' calculation of RWA.
The revisions to the regulatory framework will help restore credibility in the calculation of RWA by enhancing the robustness and risk sensitivity of the standardised approaches for credit risk and operational risk, constraining internally modelled approaches and complementing the risk-based framework with a revised leverage ratio and output floor.
Under its Charter, Committee members agree to implement fully Basel standards for their internationally active banks. These standards constitute minimum requirements and BCBS members may decide to go beyond them. The R egulatory Consistency Assessment Programme RCAP consists of two distinct but complementary workstreams to monitor the timely adoption of Basel III standards and to assess the consistency and completeness of the adopted standards, including the significance of any deviations from the regulatory framework.
Under the RCAP, the Committee publishes semiannual reports on members' progress in implementing Basel standards, in addition to regular updates to G20 Leaders. This monitoring is accompanied by a programme of peer reviews that assess members' implementation. Between and , the Committee reviewed all member jurisdictions' implementation of the risk-based capital framework, during which many jurisdictions took steps to improve the consistency of their domestic regulations with the Basel requirements.
Similar reviews on the LCR were completed during In due course, these assessments will be extended to other standards. This website requires javascript for proper use.

Bank failures were particularly prominent during the s, an era that is often referred to as the " savings and loan crisis. As a result, the potential for the bankruptcy of the major international banks because grew as a result of low security.
In order to prevent this risk, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision , comprised of central banks and supervisory authorities of 10 countries, met in in Basel, Switzerland. The committee drafted a first document to set up an international "minimum amount" of capital that banks should hold. This minimum is a percentage of the total capital of a bank, which is also called the minimum risk-based capital adequacy.
In , the Basel I Capital Accord was created. Basel III is being finalized. In this article, we'll take a look at Basel I and how it impacted the banking industry.
The general purpose was to:. The basic achievement of Basel I has been to define bank capital and the so-called bank capital ratio. In order to set up a minimum risk-based capital adequacy applying to all banks and governments in the world, a general definition of capital was required.
Indeed, before this international agreement, there was no single definition of bank capital. According to the BCBS, Basel 1 had two basic objectives: i to establish a more level playing field for international competition among banks; and ii to reduce the probability that such competition would lead to the bidding down of capital ratios to extremely low levels. We will find out that the establishment of an international level playing field is not a good idea and that the very international characteristic of the accord makes objective ii unachievable.
