Basel Committee issues consultative document on measuring and controlling large exposures

March 26, 2013--The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision has today published a proposed supervisory framework for measuring and controlling large exposures.

The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision has today published a proposed supervisory framework for measuring and controlling large exposures. The proposed new standard aims to ensure greater consistency in the way banks and supervisors measure, aggregate and control exposures to single counterparties. Acting as a backstop to risk-based capital requirements, the standard would supplement the existing risk-based capital framework by protecting banks from substantive losses caused by the sudden default of a counterparty or group of connected counterparties. The consultative paper published today would replace the Basel Committee's 1991 guidance Measuring and controlling large credit exposures.
