5. Basel Committee issued Final standards to curb exposures of banks to customers
i. The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision on 15 April 2014 issued Final standards for measuring and controlling large exposures of banks to customers. These standards will take effect from 1 January 2019
ii. The committee consisted of banking supervisors from nearly 30 countries. The committee framed a new rule limiting how much business a bank can undertake with a single customer.
Highlights of the guidelines
• Guidelines were aimed to minimise the risk of fallout from a counterparty going default without imposing excessive burdens on financial firms. • The framework was designed so that the maximum possible loss a bank could incur if such a default were to occur would not endanger the bank's survival as a going concern. • In cases where the bank's counterparty is another bank, large exposure limits will directly contribute towards the reduction of system-wide contagion risk. • The framework will also contribute to strengthening the oversight and regulation of the shadow banking system by extending the scope of coverage to exposures to funds, securitisation structures and collective investment undertakings. • The existing rule leaves it to supervisors to impose a 25 percent cap on exposures, meaning each exposure cannot be more than a quarter of the bank's total regulatory capital holdings.
