| description |
Despite recently announced delays, Basel
II - the new standard for bank capital - is due to be
completed this year for implementation in the 13 Basel
Committee member countries by the end of 2006. Should the
other 170 plus member countries of the World Bank also adopt
Basel II? Basel II was not written with developing countries
in mind, but that does not necessarily mean that there is
nothing in it for developing countries or that it can be
ignored. Basels I and II represent a wide Sea of Standards.
This paper suggests five alternative island-standards and
five navigational tools to help countries choose their
preferred island within the sea. It is suggested that for
some developing countries the standardized approach will
yield little in terms of linking regulatory capital to risk,
but that countries may need many years of work to adopt the
more advanced internal rating-based approach. The paper then
proposes a centralized rating-based approach as a transition
measure. The paper also makes proposals regarding a set of
largely unresolved cross-border issues. |
