What is BIS?
The BIS, set up in 1930, in Swiss city Basel, theoldest international financial institution. It is
increasingly recognized as the principal center for
international central bank cooperation.
Promote cooperation among the central banks in
their international financial operations and to act as
a trustee or agent in regard to international
settlements entrusted to it by the member
countries.

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

Continue
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 / RWAs

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

On balance sheet item:
Cash, deposit balance with other banks,
mortgage loan, commercial loan tocorporations etc
Off balance sheet item:
Letter of credit, commitment tocustomers for credit limits.

Overseas operation
Tier I capital should be assigned Zero weight
Tier II capital should be assigned 100 weight
Advances against LIC, FD, and Kisan Vikas Patrawhere adequate margin is available would carryZero weight.
Loans to staff would also carry Zero weight.

Capital Funds
Basel committee has defined capital in two tiers:
Tiers I Tiers I capital is the core capital, which
provides the most permanent and readilyavailable support against unexpected losses.
Tiers II Tiers 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 Banksconsist of: (Core capital)
1. Paid up capital
2. Statutory reserves
3. Disclosed free reserves4. Capital reserves representing surplus arising
out of sale proceeds of assets.
Disclosed free reserve: retained earning,general reserve, profit and loss

Tier II Capital
Tier II capital in the case of Indian Banksconsist of: (Supplementary capital)
* Undisclosed reserves
* Asset revaluation reserves
* Hybrid Capital instruments
-

Undisclosed free reserve:
These elements have the capacity to absorb
unexpected losses and can be included ascapital. It should not be routinely used forabsorbing normal loan or operating looses.
Asset revaluation reserve: Arising out ofrevaluation of assets that are under valued onthe banks books.
For ex:if you purchased an fixed assets for rs 8 and if
the market price will increase to 10,then you have aprofit of rs 2.

Hybrid debt capital instrument:
A number of capital instrument which
combine certain characteristic of equityand certain characteristics of debt.

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 weight according to their riskiness .
CAR = Capital / Credit Risk = 8%

What are the shortcomings ofBasel I accord?
1. This is a straight forward one-size-fits-allapproach
2. It doesnt distinguish between risk profile and riskmanagement standards across banks
3. All advances carried equal risk weights of 100%.
4. It does not account past payment record, afavorable credit history in respect of the activity orthe region where the borrower operated, availability ofgood collateral while assigning risk weights.
5. Basel-I concentrated only on credit risk andavoided any effort to address other significantbanking risks such as market risk, and operationalrisk

What are the risks banks/FIsusually face and their respective
intensities?Out of so many risks the Basel Committee clubbed various riskssituation 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 ofliquidity constraints, prices and exchange rates. It constitutes4%
Operational risks-results from inadequate or failed internalprocess, people and systems or external events. It constitutes 1%
The above percentage is only indicative and may widely vary indifferent banking environment and again bank to bank position

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
-

Minimum capital requirements :
It covers the calculation of risk weight of
assets to determine the basic minimumcapital required.

What is Pillar - 1?
Pillar - 1 is the minimum capital requirement

Credit risk
Standardized approach: Here thelender set risk weights of some assetsclasses and others to be determined bythe rating agency.
Internal rating based approach :under this the lender use their own riskweight models to determine the minimum
capital.
-
8/4/2019 besel -
22/34
The first internal ratings based approach isknown as the Foundation IRB. In this
approach, banks, withthe approval ofregulators, can develop probability of defaultmodels that provide in-house risk
weightings for their loan books. Regulatorsprovide the assumptions in these models,namely the probability of loss of each type ofasset.
-
8/4/2019 besel -
23/34
The second internal ratings basedapproach,Advanced IRB,is essentially
the same as Foundation IRB, except for one important difference: the
banks themselvesrather than
regulatorsdetermine theassumptions of proprietary credit default
models. Therefore, only the largest banks
with the most complex modes can use thisstandard.
-
8/4/2019 besel -
24/34
Operational risk
Basic indicator approach:The first method,known as the Basic Indicator Approach,recommends that bankshold capital equal to fifteenpercent of the average gross income earned by a
bank in the past three years. Standardized approach:The second method,
known as the Standardized Approach, divides abank by its business lines todetermine the amount
of cash it must have on hand to protect itselfagainst operational risk.
-
8/4/2019 besel -
25/34
Advanced measurement approach:Thethird method, theAdvanced Measurement
Approach, is much less arbitrary than its rival
methodologies. On the other hand, it is muchmore demanding for regulators and banksalike:
it allows banks to develop their own reserve
calculations for operational risks.
-
8/4/2019 besel -
26/34
Market risk
Advanced Measurement Approach:Banks can develop their own calculations to
determine the reserves needed to protect againstinterest rate and volatility risk for fixed income
assets on a position-by-position basis. Again,regulators must approve of such an action.
-

Internal model approach:
This methodology group encourages banksto develop their own internal models tocalculate a stock, currency, or commoditys
market risk on a case-by-case basis. On average, the IMA is seen to be the most
complex, least conservative, and most
profitable of the approaches toward marketrisk modelling.

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 abilityto monitor and ensure their compliance with regulatory
capital ratios.
Supervisors expect banks to operate the minimumregulatory capital ratios and should have the ability to
require banks to hold capital in excess of minimum
An early intervention to prevent capital falling from
minimum level.

What is the Pillar 3? Third pillar is about Market Discipline. This tells
about self disclosure regarding. The lender shoulddisclose or publish all the information regarding:
Financial Performance
Financial Position Risk Management Strategies and Practices
Risk exposure
Accounting Policies Information relating to basic business
Management and corporate governance
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
Absence of historical data base
Impact on profitability due to huge implementation costs,
particularly for smaller banks
As the level of rating penetration is very low, the rating ofborrowers in all cases an uphill task and sometimes it fearedof biasing.

Basel iii Risk:
credit + market + operational+ systemic
Systematic risk:
The portion of risk that is caused by factorswhich affect the returns on all securitieswith changes in the market.
ex
The govt changes the interest rateThe inflation rate increases/decreases.
-
8/4/2019 besel -

First, the quality, consistency, and
transparency of the capital base will beraised.
Second, the risk coverage of the capital
framework will be strengthened.
-

33/34
Conclusion:
It has been described as a long journey rather
than a destination by itself. Undoubtedly it
would require commitment of substantialcapital and human resources on the part ofboth banks and the supervisors. RBI has
decided to follow a consultative process while
implementing Basel - II norms and move in agradual, sequential and coordinate manner.
