Basel Committee on Banking Supervision Publishes Statement on Proportionate Implementation of Basel Framework

The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision has published a joint statement with the Basel Consultative Group on the proportionality of the implementation of the Basel Framework by the banks and jurisdictions to which it applies. The Basel Consultative Group is the Basel Committee's sub-group responsible for enhancing the Basel Committee's engagement with global supervisors, including those from non-member countries. The Basel Framework is the set of bank prudential standards established by the Basel Committee that Basel members have agreed to implement. The joint statement confirms the role of proportionality that is established in the Basel Committee's "Core principles for effective banking supervision".

The statement follows the Basel Committee's survey on proportionality in bank regulation and supervision, in which it found that a majority of Basel Committee and BCG jurisdictions apply proportionality measures in supervision of banks.
