Description:

Basel III represents a global regulatory framework governing bank capital adequacy, stress testing, and market liquidity risk. Originally agreed upon by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in 2010–11, the Accord has seen its implementation timeline extended to March 31, 2019. This framework strengthens bank capital requirements by enhancing liquidity standards and reducing leverage.
