BASEL II ACCORD

Published in 2004, the purpose of Basel II is to create an international standard that banking regulators can use when determining how much capital banks need to put aside to guard against risks. Advocates of Basel II believe that it will help protect the international finance system from problems that could arise if a major bank or a series of banks collapse. This topic covers the latest news on implementation of the Basel II Accord as the global economy deals with its biggest crisis yet.
