The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision has set out the outcomes from its meeting on November 19-20, 2024. Key takeaways include:
- implementation of Basel III—committee members unanimously reaffirmed their expectation of implementing all aspects of the Basel III framework in full, consistently and as soon as possible;
- non-bank financial intermediation—the BCBS approved a final set of guidelines that seek to address weaknesses in banks' counterparty credit risk management exposed in recent episodes of NBFI distress. The finalized guidelines will be published next month;
- 2023 banking turmoil—an update on the BCBS's work to develop a suite of practical tools to support supervisors in their day-to-day work as part of its efforts to strengthen supervisory effectiveness in light of the lessons learned from last year's banking turmoil will be published in early 2025;
- macroprudential policy—the BCBS will publish a report on existing practices to support jurisdictions that wish to apply positive cycle-neutral rates when risks are judged to be neither subdued nor elevated. The report will be published next month; and
- climate-related financial risks—the BCBS anticipates finalizing its proposed Pillar 3 disclosure framework in H1 2025.
