On September 11, the BCBS issued a report
and an accompanying press release, which summarized the aggregate
results of the latest Basel III monitoring
exercise, using data as of December 31, 2013. The
report covers analysis relating to matters including capital
ratios, capital shortfalls, level of capital, composition of
capital and leverage ratio.
Data, as of December 31, 2013, shows that most large
internationally active banks now meet the Basel III risk-based
capital minimum requirements, and capital shortfalls have been
further reduced relative to the target levels.
A total of 227 banks participated in the study, comprising
of 102 Group 1 banks (internationally active banks that have
Tier 1 capital of more than EUR3 billion) and 125 Group 2 banks (a
representative sample of all other banks). Report. Press release.
