A one-day workshop providing delegates with an overview of the Basel III rules
The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision have announced a substantial strengthening of existing capital requirements. These capital reforms, together with the introduction of a global liquidity standard clearly make additional challenges for financial institutions.
The Committee's package of reforms will increase the minimum common equity requirement from 2% to 4.5%. In addition, banks will be required to hold a capital conservation buffer of 2.5% to withstand future periods of stress bringing the total common equity requirements to 7%.
By the end of this workshop, attendees will be able to:
- Understand Basel III / Vickers / Dodd-Frank / Swiss Finish
- Recognise the impacts from the regulatory developments
- Be aware of key challenges and issues for banks
