Compliance, Legislative & Regulatory Standards

Regulatory Environment - Part 6

Overview

This tutorial describes the changes to the capital requirements under Basel III, including the tighter definition of qualifying capital and increased focus on CET1, the new capital buffers, and the revised minimum ratios. We explore the impact of these changes on banks’ capital structures. This tutorial describes how the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) responded to the issue of risk not being recognised or understated by updating and expanding risk coverage in some areas.
