Global Regulatory Network, Executive BriefingProposed changes to the Basel Capital Framework - 2016, rush for the finish line?
The Basel Committee of Banking Supervision is attempting to complete all “unfinished business” in the area of changes in international minimum capital requirements by end-2016. This new set of requirements is labelled by some as “Basel IV”, but it is really too piecemeal to be regarded as a new standard.
The EY Global Regulatory Network has produced an Executive Briefing which takes stock of the changes currently underway or likely to be agreed this year in the areas of:
There are many parts to the changes, which all need to be considered. Most notable are the attempts to create a credible standardised approach for credit risk, an examination of whether and how the IRB approach should be adjusted to create greater simplicity and comparability, and a proposal to end the use of internal bank models (AMA) for operational risk capital calculation.
Taken together with the implications of the IFRS 9 impairment requirements, the changes mean two things for banks: more work and, for the larger banks, more capital.
If you wish to discuss any of these changes and their implications, please contact Conor Griffin or Cormac Murphy, our Global Regulatory Network experts in Ireland.
