Governance, Risk Management & Compliance (GRC) Fundamentals Training Course

Description:

Basel III represents a global regulatory framework focused on bank capital adequacy, stress testing, and market liquidity risk. Initially established by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in 2010–11, the implementation timeline for these amendments was extended until March 31, 2019. The framework enhances bank capital requirements by boosting liquidity and reducing leverage.
Unlike Basel I and II, Basel III mandates distinct reserve levels for various deposit types and borrowings. Rather than replacing its predecessors, it functions alongside Basel I and Basel II to create a more comprehensive regulatory environment.
