What is BCBS (Basel Committee onBanking Supervision)
This is a committee appointed by BIS to look
into the adequacy of capital of banks with
international presence. And the most farreaching of these initiatives was the laying
down of minimum capital standards in 1988,
known as Basel Capital accord.

Capital adequacy ratio (CAR)
It is the ratio of the banks capital to itsrisk weighted assets. To assess the capital
adequacy of banks based on this ratio itis essential to understand three aspects:
Composition of Capital
Composition of Risk weighted assets
Assigning Risk Weights

It is the most important measure of banks
soundness. It acts as a buffer.
Adequacy is expressed as a minimumnumerical ratio which the banks are expected
to maintain.
CAR= Capital / RWAsCapital = Tier I + Tier II

Risk Adjusted Assets & off B/S
items: Risk adjusted assets would mean weighted
aggregate of funded and non-funded items.
Degrees of credit risk expressed as percentageweightings have been assigned to B/S assets &conversion factors to off-balance sheet items.
For ex. Banks investments in all securities shouldbe assigned a risk weight of 2.5 % for marketrisk. (addition to credit risk)

Capital Funds
Basel committee has defined capital in two tiers:
Tier I Tier I capital is the core capital, which
provides the most permanent and readilyavailable support against unexpected losses
Tier II Tier II capital will consist of elementsthat are not permanent in nature or are notreadily available

Tier - I
Tier I capital in the case of Indian Banks consist of:(Core capital)
1. Paid up capital
2. Statutory reserves3. Disclosed free reserves4. Capital reserves representing surplus arising out of sale
proceeds of assets. Accumulated losses will be deducted from Tier I
Capital. Equity investment in subsidiaries and intangible assets
will also be deducted from Tier I capital.

* Undisclosed reserves
* Asset revaluation reserves
* General provisions and loss reserves
* Hybrid Capital instruments
* Cumulative perpetual preference shares

Limits and Restrictions:
The total of Tier II (supplementary) elementswill be limited to a maximum of Tier 1 elements.
Subordinated debt will be limited to a maximum
of 50% of Tier 1 elements. General provisions is eligible for inclusion in Tier
II will be limited to a maximum of 1.25% of riskweighted assets.
Asset revaluation reserve which has taken theform of latent gains will be subject to a discountof 55%

What is the original accord or
Basel I accord?The Basel Committee came out with its first document on
International Convergence of Capital measurements and
Capital Standards in 1988 as a harbinger to tone up the
safety and stability of commercial banking in world over.
It requires internationally active banks to hold capital
equal to at least 8% of basket of assets measured in
different ways according to their riskiness .
CAR = Capital / Credit Risk = 8%

What are the shortcomings of
Basel I accord?1. This is a straight forward one-size-fits-all approach
2. It doesnt distinguish between risk profile and riskmanagement standards across banks
3. All advances carried equal risk weights of 100% ,irrespective it is a blue chip company or itinerant trader
4. It does not account past payment record, a favorable credithistory in respect of the activity or the region where theborrower operated, availability of good collateral whileassigning risk weights.
5. Basel-I concentrated only on credit risk and eschewedany effort to address other significant banking risks such as
market risk, and operational risk

What are the risks banks/FIsusually face and their respective
intensities?Out of so many risks the Basel Committee clubbed various risks situation
in three categories
Credit risks-emanates owing to default of the counter parties in respect of
fund and non-fund exposure. It constitutes 95%
Market risk-arises on change of market variable in the form of liquidityconstraints, prices and exchange rates. It constitutes 4%
Operational risks-results from inadequate or failed internal process,
people and systems or external events. It constitutes 1%
The above percentage is only indicative and may widely vary in differentbanking environment and again bank to bank position

Tier 3 capital
The capital required as defined in the BaselMarket Risk Amendment dated 25th Nov, 2005.
It consists of short term subordinated debt for
the sole purpose of meeting a proportion of thecapital requirements for market risks.
Tier 3 capital will be limited to 250% of a banksTier 1 capital that is required to support for
market risks. This means that minimum of 28.5% of market
risks needs to be supported by Tier 1 capital.

What is Basel-II?
To make the system more compliance to changing
environment Basel- I has been revised to new accord
Basel - II. Primarily it calls for distinguishing among various
risk and more importantly quantifying them.CAR=Capital/Credit Risk + Market, Risk + Operational Risk
It rests on a set of three mutually reinforcing pillars
namely
1. Minimum Capital Requirement
2. Supervisory review
3. Market Discipline

What is Pillar 2?
It is Supervisory Review. It is based on four principles
Banks should have a process for assessing their overall capital
adequacy in relation to their risk profile.
Supervisors should review and evaluate banks internal capital
adequacy assessments and strategies also their ability to monitor and
ensure their compliance with regulatory capital ratios
Supervisors expect banks to operate the minimum regulatory capital
ratios and should have the ability to require banks to hold capital inexcess of minimum
An early intervention to prevent capital falling from minimum level.

Financial Position
Risk Management Strategies and Practices

What are the challenges it
faces while implementing it?As it is mandated by the regulator, RBI, to implement the accord from
first fiscal of 2007, but it faces some difficulties. These are
More capital requirements
Impact on profitability due to huge implementation costs, particularlyfor smaller banks
As the level of rating penetration is very low, the rating of borrowersin all cases an uphill task and sometimes it feared of biasing
Given the paucity of supervisory resources, there is a need to reorientthe resource deployment strategy

The required ratio of Common Equity Tier 1 capital torisk-weighted assets will go up from 2% to 4.5% underBasel III. This percentage will also be more difficult to
meet as Basel III have introduced stricter regulatoryadjustments. These new capital requirements will beprogressively phased in between 1 January 2013 and 1January 2015
In addition, the minimum total Tier I capital requirementwill increase from 4% to 6% under Basel III

Capital conservation bufferBasel III has also introduced a capital conservation
buffer which requires an additional 2.5% of CommonEquity Tier I capital to be held over and above theabsolute minimum requirements. This buffer isintended to be available to be drawn down duringperiods of stress.

Definition of 'Liquidity Coverage Ratio - LCR'
Highly liquid assets held by financial institutions in orderto meet short-term obligations. The Liquidity coverageratio is designed to ensure that financial institutions have
the necessary assets on hand to ride out short-termliquidity disruptions. Banks are required to hold anamount of highly-liquid assets, such as cash or Treasurybonds, equal to or greater than their net cash over a 30
day period (having at least 100% coverage). Theliquidity coverage ratio started to be regulated andmeasured in 2011, but the full 100% minimum won't beenforced until 2015. '

The liquidity coverage ratio is animportant part of the Basel Accords, as
they define how much liquid assets haveto be held by financial institutions.Because banks are required to hold a
certain level of highly-liquid assets, theyare less able to lend out short-term debt.

The Net Stable Funding
Ratio (NSFR)
The net stable funding (NSF) ratio measures the amount oflonger-term, stable sources of funding employed by aninstitution relative to the liquidity profiles of the assetsfunded and the potential for contingent calls on fundingliquidity arising from off-balance sheet commitments andobligations. The standard requires a minimum amount offunding that is expected to be stable over a one year timehorizon based on liquidity risk factors assigned to assets
and off-balance sheet liquidity exposures. The NSF ratio isintended to promote longer-term structural funding ofbanks balance sheets, off-balance sheet exposures andcapital markets activities.
