How do you capitalise on capital regulations?Global Basel 3 Reforms Survey 2021
Many regulatory initiatives have been impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic and the implementation of the Basel 3 Reforms is no different. With less than two years for the sector to prepare for the reforms, our third global survey looks at how ready banks are and asks respondents how they are preparing for change.
Findings from the survey, which had 45 participants from the top 100 global banks, show that most banks are well underway, but we are seeing different approaches emerge. The survey uncovered significant differences in firms’ levels of preparedness and our analysis shows that progress is size and region-dependent.
Commenting on the results, Darina Colhoun, Director, Financial Services Consulting said:
Readiness for Basel 3 is proving to be a challenge for firms with varying degrees of preparedness evident from the EY survey. Firms are realising that Basel 3 is not only an issue for Finance and Risk, but that the real challenge is to future-proof frontline business models which will bear the impact of the revised capital, leverage and liquidity requirements in the post-Covid-19 world. Finance and Risk are working to implement the regulatory changes while also supporting their frontline colleagues’ understanding of the regulation and what changes will be necessary.
Key highlights from the findings include:
Although this is a regulatory-driven change, business and commercial impacts continue to top banks’ priorities. The vast majority of respondents continue to view the Basel 3 Reforms as an opportunity to change their business operations more fundamentally and deliver additional business transformation.
