Basel II and Basel III credit risk requirements- EuroZone & USA
The Basel II Accord is an initiative controlled by the Bank of International
Settlements. Banks in Europe were required to implement these rules in
2006.
These rules were intended to beef up the financial framework of
banks to make them more resilient to adverse financial changes in the
world markets, and so lessening the risk of financial disasters.
Now, due to the Great Financial Crisis, Basel II is being revamped and is now unofficially
Basel III. These new regulations on Minimum Capital Requirements will soon
likely be required standards for G20 'plus the rest' banks to guard against
maximum stress conditions. I've heard this before! Have you?
