Due to the lack in confidence, banks have been collateralizing more and more their long-term funding with their best assets: The upcoming bail-in tool encourages such behavior. This new strategy actually risks to increase the demand for government debt to such an extent that the enormous levels we already have won’t be sufficient. The Financial Stability Board recommended in July 2011 that the 29 identified systemically important financial institutions have a Core Tier 1 ratio increased between 1% and 2.5%. During the crisis we’ve experienced how crazy this assumption has been. Basel III addresses systemic risk in its two dimensions, the time dimension mitigating procyclicality and a cross-sectional dimension mitigating interconnection and contagion risk. Basel III is a crucial regulatory response to the financial crisis and a major step forward towards creating a stronger and safer financial system. That is one of the reasons why some corporates see their supply chain or their clients struggling to get financing if their size is not sufficient to get funding from the capital markets. Aus diesem Grund sind Banken daran interessiert, einen Kredit mit möglichst geringem Risiko zu vergeben. Zum Eigenkapital zählte laut Basel I das Kernkapital, was aus dem eingezahlten Grundkapital bestand, dem Ergänzungskapital, zum Beispiel Nachrangdarlehen sowie Drittrangmitteln. Wenn Banken Kredite an Unternehmen oder Verbraucher vergeben, müssen diese Darlehen heute mit einem bestimmten Anteil an Eigenkapital gedeckt sein.

When the whole Basel III package is implemented, bank’s common equity will need to be atleast 7% of risk-weighted assets. Grundsätzlich sollten die Regelungen jedoch dafür sorgen, dass der Steuerzahler in Krisenzeiten nicht für die Bankenrettung aufkommen muss. Risk Management and Corporate Governance. Basel III, issued in 2009, was not issued as a reaction to the global financial crisis. Somit sorgt Basel III einerseits für Sicherheit, wenn es um Phänomene geht, die bereits bekannt sind.
