Basel Committee reaffirms expectation to implement Basel III; finalises guidelines to strengthen banks’ counterparty credit risk management; and progresses work to strengthen supervisory effectiveness
Press release | 20 November 2024
Unanimously reaffirms expectation to implement Basel III in full, consistently and as soon as possible.
Finalises guidelines for strengthening banks’ counterparty credit risk management.
Progresses work to strengthen supervisory effectiveness following the 2023 banking turmoil.
The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision met in Basel on 19–20 November 2024 to take stock of recent market developments and risks to the global banking system, and to discuss a range of policy and supervisory initiatives.
Implementation of Basel III
Committee members unanimously reaffirmed their expectation of implementing all aspects of the Basel III framework in full, consistently and as soon as possible. Such a commitment was also recently reiterated by G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors.
As part of its Regulatory Consistency Assessment Programme, the Committee reviewed and approved the assessment reports on the implementation of the Net Stable Funding Ratio and large exposures framework by Korea. The reports will be published next month.
Non-bank financial intermediation
The Committee discussed banks’ interconnections with non-bank financial intermediation (NBFI). NBFI continues to grow and evolve in ways that could present risks and vulnerabilities to the global banking system. Banks are connected to NBFI through a wide range of direct and indirect activities and services. Data gaps hinder the effective measurement and management of risks to banks from their NBFI interconnections. Banks and supervisors must continue to be vigilant to these risks and to better gauge the range and materiality of interconnections.
The Committee reviewed the comments received to its consultation on guidelines for counterparty credit risk management. Building on the feedback received, it approved a final set of guidelines that seek to address weaknesses in banks’ counterparty credit risk management exposed in recent episodes of NBFI distress. The finalised guidelines will be published next month.
2023 banking turmoil
The Committee discussed its work to develop a suite of practical tools to support supervisors in their day-to-day work as part of its efforts to strengthen supervisory effectiveness in light of the lessons learned from last year’s banking turmoil. This work covers the supervision of liquidity risk and interest rate risk in the banking book, the assessment of the sustainability of banks’ business models, and the importance of effective supervisory judgment. An update on this work will be published in early 2025.
Prudenti policy
The Committee took stock of the range of practices adopted by jurisdictions that set a positive rate for the Basel III countercyclical capital buffer when risks are judged to be neither subdued nor elevated. As previously noted, the Committee supports and sees benefits in the ability of authorities to set such a positive “cycle-neutral” rate. To that end, it agreed to publish a report on existing practices to support jurisdictions that wish to apply positive cycle-neutral rates. The report will be published next month.
Members also discussed the comments received to the Committee’s consultation on measures to address “window-dressing” behaviour by some banks in the context of the framework for global systemically important banks. Work on addressing such behaviour will continue in 2025.
Climate-related financial risks
The Committee continued to review its proposed Pillar 3 disclosure framework for climate-related financial risks. It anticipates the finalisation of this work in the first half of 2025

Basel III Monitoring Report | September 2016
The Basel Committee published the results of its latest Basel III monitoring exercise. The Committee established a rigorous reporting process to regularly review the implications of the Basel III standards for banks and it has published the results of previous exercises since 2012.
Data have been provided for a total of 228 banks, comprising 100 large internationally active banks (“Group 1 banks”, defined as internationally active banks that have Tier 1 capital of more than €3 billion) and 128 “Group 2 banks” (ie representative of all other banks).

Il Comitato di Basilea nel 2015 ha ritenuto opportuna la revisione delle regole dell’IRR 2004, a fronte di un mercato di riferimento indubbiamente cambiato così come le relative regole di vigilanza.
Sono stati pertanto rivisti, sia i principi che i metodi di misurazione, gestione, monitoraggio e controllo dei rischi sui tassi d’interesse (IRR), definendo in questo modo i nuovi standard relativi al rischio di tasso di interesse nel banking book (IRRBB).
Le principali modifiche rispetto all’IRR 2004, riguardano l’introduzione di scenari di shock nei tassi di interesse unitamente alla creazione di modelli comportamentali, che devono essere adotti dalle banche nella misurazione dell’IRRBB. Vengono inoltre definiti requisiti addizionali di trasparenza, al fine di garantire maggior coerenza, trasparenza e confrontabilità, nella misurazione e gestione dell’IRRBB. L’aggiornamento del framework standard, potrà essere imposto dagli organi di vigilanza o scelto dalle banche stesse per la misurazione dell’IRRBB. Inoltre, viene introdotto un livello di soglia più stringente per l’individuazione di Istituti con potenziali anomalie: dal 20% sul totale capitale della banca al 15% sul TIER1.
Tali nuove disposizioni saranno implementate a partire dal 2018.
COMUNICATO STAMPA 21 April 2016
Standards for interest rate risk in the banking book issued by the Basel Committee
Press release
The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision has today issued standards for Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Book (IRRBB). The standards revise the Committee’s 2004 Principles for the management and supervision of interest rate risk, which set out supervisory expectations for banks’ identification, measurement, monitoring and control of IRRBB as well as its supervision.
The key enhancements to the 2004 Principles include:
- More extensive guidance on the expectations for a bank’s IRRBB management process in areas such as the development of shock and stress scenarios as well as key behavioural and modelling assumptions to be considered by banks in their measurement of IRRBB;
- Enhanced disclosure requirements to promote greater consistency, transparency and comparability in the measurement and management of IRRBB. This includes quantitative disclosure requirements based on common interest rate shock scenarios;
- An updated standardised framework, which supervisors could mandate their banks to follow or banks could choose to adopt; and
- A stricter threshold for identifying outlier banks that has been reduced from 20% of a bank’s total capital to 15% of a bank’s Tier 1 capital. In addition, interest rate risk exposure is measured by the maximum change in the economic value of equity under the prescribed interest rate shock scenarios.
The IRRBB standards reflect changes in market and supervisory practices since the Principles were first published in 2004, which is particularly pertinent in light of the current exceptionally low interest rates in many jurisdictions. The revised standards, which were published for consultation in June 2015, are expected to be implemented by 2018.
