Exploring Basel III/IV: Scenarios for Financial Stability and Growth

The implementation of the Basel III/IV capital reforms has become a political issue while banks are in the final straight.
The balance between financial stability and competitiveness has taken over priority at a time when international relationships are being redefined. The US administration is re-evaluating its approach to the reforms, while, the UK has postponed the start of their adoption to 2027.

In the EU, transitional arrangements have just started, along with an exemption to trading book rules. Other jurisdictions, such as Canada, Japan, and Australia, are committed to implement the Basel III/IV reforms early.

Against this background, the webinar will assess the situation in the EU and how the delays in the US and the UK could affect European banks with global operations. It will explore the pros and cons of different implementation scenarios and the impact they could have on the economy and the financial stability in a brave new world beset with geopolitical risks.
