5. E x ecu tiv e S u mmary
BASEL III is a new global regulatory standard on bank capital adequacy and liquidity agreed by
the members of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision. The third of the Basel Accords
was developed in a response to the deficiencies in financial regulation revealed by the global
financial crisis. Basel III strengthens bank capital requirements and introduces new regulatory
requirements on bank liquidity and bank leverage.
Basel III is an evolution rather than a revolution for many banks. It was developed from the
existing Basel II framework, and the most significant differences for banks are the introduction
of liquidity and leverage ratios, and enhanced minimum capital requirements. An effective
implementation of Basel III will demonstrate to regulators, customers, and shareholders that the
bank is recovering well from the global banking crisis of 2008. A speedy implementation will
also contribute to a bank’s competitiveness by delivering better management insight into the
business, allowing it to take advantage of future opportunities. Although implementing Basel III
will only be an evolutionary step for many organizations, the impact of Basel III on banks and
the banking sector should not be underestimated, because it will drive significant challenges that
need to be understood and addressed. For every bank, working out the most cost-effective model
for implementing Basel III will be a critical issue.
Basel III will require banks to hold 4.5% of common equity (up from 2% in Basel II) and 6% of
Tier I capital (up from 4% in Basel II) of risk-weighted assets (RWA). Basel III also introduces
additional capital buffers, (i) a mandatory capital conservation buffer of 2.5% and (ii) a
discretionary countercyclical buffer, which allows national regulators to require up to another
2.5% of capital during periods of high credit growth. In addition, Basel III introduces a minimum
3% leverage ratio and two required liquidity ratios.
The Liquidity Coverage Ratio requires a bank to hold sufficient high-quality liquid assets to
cover its total net cash flows over 30 days; the Net Stable Funding Ratio requires the available
amount of stable funding to exceed the required amount of stable funding over a one-year period
of extended stress.
