Basel III

Just like any other regulation, Basel III evolved as a result of a crisis, a regulatory arbitrage or a crack in the Basel II regulation that resulted in the massive global crisis.

As per BIS - "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.
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.
