A one-day workshop providing delegates with a high level overview of the newly proposed 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%. This reinforces the stronger definition of capital agreed by Governors and Heads of Supervision in July and the higher capital requirements for trading, derivative and securitisation activities to be introduced at the end of 2011.
This one-day workshop will provide you with a clearer understanding of the newly proposed Basel III rules and the key concerns you are likely to face in practice.
