After the crisis, world leaders and central bankers overhauled banking regulations, first and foremost by rectifying the Basel prudential rules. Unfortunately, the new Basel III Accord and the ensuing EU Capital Requirements Directive have failed to correct the two main shortcomings of international prudential rules namely, their reliance on banks risk management models for the calculation of capital requirements, and the lack of supervisory accountability.

The most remarkable feature of the policy deliberations on prudential banking rules so far has been their delegation to the Basel Committee of Banking Supervisors and the banks themselves, both of which have a vested interest in preserving the existing system. Governments and parliaments have an obligation to launch a thorough review of the Basel rules, and to demand revisions that align them with the public interest.

Members of the Basel Convention Open ended Working Group and the Secretariat of the Basel Convention could provide relevant expertise.

Much has already been done to advance regulatory reform, notably the recent agreement to strengthen bank capital (Basel III). Yet we are far from having the supervision needed for proper implementation of the rules.

The problem is that the Basel capital rules whether Basel I, II, or III are of no help in separating the weak banks from the sound ones. Indeed, more often than not, the banks that failed or had to be rescued in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis had solvency ratios higher than those of banks that remained standing without assistance.

There has been commendable progress on the Basel 3 capital requirements for banks, with 25 of 27 Basel Committee members having issued final rules. Likewise, the impact of regulatory changes resulting from major legislation and policy directives in the United States, Europe, and the United Kingdom on banking, insurance, financial transaction taxes, anti money laundering, and cyber space is likely to be substantial.

For example, the Basel Convention Technical Cooperation Trust Fund, which relies on voluntary contributions, has been able to provide only limited and generally inadequate resources, leading Basel Convention parties to begin the process of determining the feasibility of appropriate and predictable financial mechanisms for the Basel Convention.
