  3. I. Strengthening the three Pillars of Basel II • Minimum capital requirements: Changes to Pillar 1  Strengthening capital buffers: higher quantity and quality of capital  Higher capital ratios in banks involving systemic risk  Capital charges against trading book exposures should be increased significantly

  4. I. Strengthening the three Pillars of Basel II • Supervisory Review Process: Complementing Pillar 2  Enhanced guidance to strengthen banks´ corporate governance as regards risk management, internal controls and policies  Countercyclical regulation regarding capital buffers and provisions  Introduction of a maximum gross leverage ratio  Strengthen liquidity risk management including higher liquidity buffers and resilience to stress testing

  5. I. Strengthening the three Pillars of Basel II • Market discipline: Further disclosures under Pillar 3  Risk disclosures on securitisation and resecuritisation exposures in the trading book  Transparency of credit risk provisions  The Turner Review: “Market disciplines expressed via market prices cannot be expected to play a major role in containing bank risk taking and the primary constraint needs to come from regulation and supervision”

  6. II. Overcoming weaknesses in regulatory and supervisory structures • Developing macroprudential regulation in view of systemic risk • Implementing optimal regulatory structures as regards financial stability, prudential supervision, and business conduct (consolidated, twin peaks and other approaches) • Parallel advancements as regards risk management and supervision in financial innovation and new products in banks, supervisors, institutions and markets • Extension of prudential regulation and supervision to “parallel banking system” including currently non-regulated financial entities: hedge funds, mortgage brokers, off shore banks and others
