Greg Baer on the Basel III Endgame
Decades ago, the Basel Accords attempted to minimize global financial risk by standardizing regulations across major countries. The current phase of legislation, initially crafted after the global financial crisis and now dubbed the “Basel III endgame,” would impose new risk-weighted capital requirements on US banks and widen the net of financial regulation, potentially increasing costs for banks and customers in an attempt to elevate banking sector resiliency. In this episode, we talk with Greg Baer, President and Chief Executive Officer at the Bank Policy Institute, about Basel III’s key elements, the tradeoff between profitability and banking sector stability, and the road ahead for the proposed legislation.
