More about Basel II

Basel sets out the minimum capital (in other words, financial resources other than liabilities) that banks, building societies and certain investment companies must hold at all times.

Basel II is an international initiative that requires financial services companies to have a more risk sensitive framework for the assessment of regulatory capital. The Basel Capital Accord sets international capital adequacy standards. In 1988, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision established a method of relating capital assets, using a simple system of risk weights and a minimum capital ratio of 8%.

In short Basel provides guidance to firms that have liabilities to consumers to maintain adequate financial resources in relation to their risks and manage those risks prudently. Basel does not aim to prevent all firms' failures and all losses to consumers. It's aim is to balance the risks of a firm's failure with maintaining competition and innovation in financial services.

The planned implementation date is December 2006. Banks, academics and politicians, particularly in the USA are demanding changes to the draft rules, which they believe are too complex, overly prescriptive and costly. These changes may in turn cause delays to the implementation of the final Accord.

Consumers of financial services face the risk that a firm is unable to meet its liabilities to them. This might involve a bank, building society or other deposit-taker being unable to repay a customer deposit, an insurance company being unable to meet its obligation under an insurance contract to pay out on insured losses or its obligations under a long - term savings product, or a trader or broker being unable to meet its obligation under an investment contract such as a deal involving buying or selling of shares.

Failures of this sort occur if a firm has inadequate financial resources compared with the risks in its business. For example, a bank may not have resources to absorb losses in its lending business (such as mortgage lending or lending to industrial and commercial companies). These losses may themselves be the result of a failure by the bank to identify, then monitor, and control the risks in the business. For example, the bank may fail to assess adequately the likelihood that companies borrowing funds can repay in full and on time.
