22. Basle Committee minimum standards: international regulatory response to the failure of BCCI.

Author

Abstract

The new minimum standards adopted by the Basle Committee on Banking Supervision in response to the failure of the Bank of Credit and Commerce International do not significantly improve international banking regulation. The main feature of the new minimum standards is the placement of international banks under consolidated supervision by regulators in their home country. However, the standards face difficulties in implementation and contain gaps which could enable banks to avoid regulation. Responses of the European Community, the US and the UK are also examined.

35. Core Principles for Effective Banking Supervision: An Enforceable International Financial Standard?

Author

Alford, Duncan E, Alford, Duncan E, Alford, Duncan E, and Alford, Duncan E

Abstract

The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision serves as an international forum to discuss international bank supervision issues. Because of the gravity and frequency of banking crises since the demise of the Bretton Woods System in the early 1970s, international ªnancial standards have emerged as a method to minimize these crises. In 1998, the Basel Committee issued a comprehensive standard on bank super vision that built upon its work over the previous two and a half decades. In this Article, the author analyzes this comprehensive standard—the Core Principles for Effective Banking Supervision—and assesses its implementation in the European Union, the United Kingdom, France, the United States, and the Hong Kong SAR. The author then analyzes the options available to enforce this “soft law” and comments on the effec tiveness of these options, including the surveillance programs of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund and certain provisions of the Revised Capital Accord of 2004. Despite the improvements repre sented by the Core Principles, the author suggests future changes in the international bank supervisory regime.

Abstract

This paper focuses on the relevance to emerging economies of three major financial reforms following the global financial crisis of 2007 - 2009: (1) the improved capital requirements intended to reduce the risk of bank failure ("Basel III"), (2) the improved recovery and resolution regimes for global banks, and (3) the development of supervisory colleges of cross-border financial institutions to improve supervisory cooperation and convergence. The paper also addresses the implications of these regulatory reforms for Asian emerging markets.
