Abstract

This paper explores new banking regulatory practices published by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) on 2010, through documents that were written in response to the international crisis environment that was established in 2008. The proposed changes, among other recommendations, are mainly focused on increasing capital requirements, the quest for a higher quality regulatory capital, the introduction of leverage and liquidity ratios, capital conservation buffers and new monitoring systems.

Introduction

On July 12, 2010 the Basel Committee had validated the additions which had been issued in 26 July. Moreover, further specific details were also added such as capital requirement, particular target ratios and the limited time period in which banks are liable to adapt new regulations announced by committee. The results generated had been discussed and concluded in G20 summit held at Seoul, along with the exceptions of upcoming treatment for specific systematic institutions.

The new rules introduced in Basel III are aspiring to make the banking system safer by addressing all the issues and flaws which were visible in the financial crises of 2008.

In addition, these new standards also sketch the requirements for long term funding. The impact of introduction of new rules is much significant. Apart from any mitigating actions, the impact of European and US capital shortfall can be estimated at €1.7 trillion, along with the short term liquidity shortfall of €1.9 trillion. In addition, long term funding ratios are being calculated and currently, it has been defined that long term funding ratios would have significant impact which would be creating shortfall of 2.3 trillion in Europe only. Similarly, long term funding would also be impacting on United States, with the estimated shortfall of 2.2 trillion.................
