Quo Vadis "Basel IV"

The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) published a consultative paper on December 22nd 2014 on the design of the capital floor framework based on revised standardised approaches for credit, market and operational risk. This paper is part of a range of policy and supervisory measures targeting an enhanced reliability and comparability of risk-weighred capital ratios. The new floor will replace the existing transitional capital floor based on the Basel I framework and it complements the leverage ratio introduced as part of Basel III.
