The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board), and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) (collectively, the agencies) are seeking comment on an amendment to the notice of proposed rulemaking (NPR) to modify the agencies' market risk capital rules, published in the Federal Register on January 11, 2011 (January 2011 NPR). The January 2011 NPR did not include the methodologies adopted by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) for calculating the standard specific risk capital requirements for certain debt and securitization positions, because the BCBS methodologies generally rely on credit ratings. Under section 939A of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the Act), all federal agenc...

Basel III is set to introduce stricter rules for banking with respect to capital and liquidity. What are the implications? IN response to the financial instability that ravaged the financial sector and regional economies, Basel Committee for Banking Supervision (BCBS) and G20 governors recently agreed to enact Basel III that would introduce stricter rules for banking in respect to capital and liquidity. The G20 also endorsed very long transitional periods for full implementation of the Basel III. The focus of attention is now gradually shifting to implementation, though the transitional period appears long which stretches up to 2019, financial institutions have no time to waste, considering the array of regulatory changes introduced.
Last September, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) agreed on a new framework for global capital standards for the world's banks. The latest reform package from the BCBS is known as Basel III. The ultimate goal is to create a banking sector that can withstand the shocks of another downturn. In addition to increased minimum capital requirements, which, for common equity, bump up from 2% to 4.5%, Basel III also requires banks to maintain a 2.5% buffer above the minimum, bringing the effective total minimum capital requirement to 7%. Many banks argue that the regime is a bit too stringent, and some have predicted that there will be a $100 billion gap between the capital banks have now and the capital they'll need to be in compliance with Basel III when the time comes. While t...

In 2008, when AIG, a company known for its big bonuses and risky investments within its financial products division, was on the verge of bankruptcy, it was not allowed to die. Instead the Federal Reserve stepped in to save the insurance giant and sent AIG a check for $85 billion, a tab that ballooned to $170 billion within a few months. It soon became apparent that AIG was far from the only financial firm in need of a life preserver to stay afloat, and Washington created the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program to rescue the banks. Heading into the financial crisis of 2008, some US banks' core capital was only 3% of their assets -- or less -- and less than one-tenth of those assets were liquid, or easily accessible. The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, an institution create...
In the articles below, a number of eminent individuals argue that a new and improved form of multilateralism is needed to allow the developing world, and Africa in particular, to overcome these bleak prospects. They argue that Africa cannot afford to watch from the sidelines as the global crisis unfolds. Instead, they call for its leaders to use this opportunity and push for substantial reforms of the world's governance structure to make it more responsive, supportive and ultimately effective. I share both their sense of urgency as well as their main policy recommendations. Backroom deals should give way to transparency and full representation, whether in the Bretton Woods or other financial institutions such as the Financial Stability Forum and the Basel Committee on Banking Supervisio...

Banks' capital requirements, an analysis of the financial system's vulnerability, and stress testing of bank's losses and profits are discussed. Norway introduced the first guidelines drawn up by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, the Basel I Framework, in 1991. In Basel I, each bank's capital requirement is determined on the basis of the risk related to the bank's different assets, for example lending. Riiser (2005) uses macroeconomic gap indicators to analyze financial imbalances and banking crises in Norway since 1819. The gap indicators suggest that the risk of financial instability increased in 2007. A stress scenario for the Norwegian economy is examined where it is assumed that the shocks it is now witnessing in international and domestic markets are amplified and persis...
