The ink is barely dry on the final Basel III proposals, yet a number of implementation challenges are coming to light. In the U.S., where financial institutions and risk practitioners are already struggling with the Dodd-Frank Act, incorporating Basel III raises a complex series of questions. For risk management professionals at internationally active firms, it is essential to understand how these regulatory regimes are related. This Webcast will explore the potential implications of Basel III and the effects that its higher capital standards will have on U.S. markets, including the need for institutions to more effectively deploy capital and the increasing importance of practice-driven risk management.
