| | FRB: Speech, Olson--Basel II--May 16, 2005 |
 | | Basel I presents an opportunity for banks to retain balance-sheet positions that are of higher risk than their regulatory capital charge and to shed those of lower risk. | | | Basel II is intended to close this gap by more directly linking riskiness of assets to their corresponding regulatory capital charge and to reduce, if not eliminate, the incentives to engage in capital arbitrage. | | | Broadly speaking, in developing Basel II we are striving to establish higher standards for internal risk management at banking organizations, including capital adequacy, and to improve both the supervisors' and the public's understanding of banks' risk taking and risk management. |

| | Basel Committee (Basle Committee) |
| | Basel II largely achieves European regulators' objectives of addressing shortcomings in the original accord's treatment of credit risk, incorporating operational risk and harmonizing capital requirements for banks and securities firms. | | | Generally, Basel II retains the definition of bank capital and the market risk provisions of the 1996 Amendment. | | | The 1988 Basel Accord primarily addressed banking in the sense of deposit taking and lending (commercial banking under US law), so its focus was credit risk. |

| | Basel Agreement |
| | To prevent any country from circumventing the provisions, signatories are forbidden to export waste to non-signatory nations unless it is done under the provisions of a separate bilateral or multilateral agreement. | | | Basel provides for extensive regulation of the movement of wastes which will prove beneficial in guaranteeing safe and proper disposal. | | | The provisions of the Convention that call for a reduction in waste generation on the part of the signatories is a step in the right direction toward eventually banning waste trade. |

| | Basel II compliance also will require changes to banks' public disclosures and the regulatory review of their capital adequacy. | | | The Basel Committee itself does not actually have any authority to impose capital-reserve requirements on the world's banks; instead, it formulates broad supervisory standards and recommends best practices, which it then turns over to regulatory authorities in its 13 member countries for implementation. | | | With banks set to gain more control over how they assess their risks and reserve for them, the Basel Committee wants to make sure that regulators' judgments of risk and capital adequacy are based on more than an assessment of whether a bank complies with minimum capital requirements. |

| | Basel II also provides a unique opportunity for banks to modernize and upgrade their risk practices, policies and technology so that they can manage their credit risk, market risk and operational risk in a holistic fashion. | | | The new Basel Capital Accord gives banks the opportunity to reduce their economic capital and regulatory capital through efficient data management and reporting. | | | Based on the SunGard Basel II Capital Manager, SunGard offers a complete Basel II solution covering capital calculation and reporting, data consolidation, credit risk and operational risk. |

| | The Basel II Accord has been described as "the blueprint for the most radical changes to the way banks are regulated." The new regime will require banks to make substantial changes to processes and systems. | | | Basel II requirements have forced banks to focus on risk and finance data, providing an opportunity to take advantage of investment opportunities. | | | The Bank for International Settlements' Basel Committee began revising the original 1988 Basel Accord in the late 1990s, to align capital more sensitively with risk and to spur banks to improve their risk management. |

| | Banks must estimate each loan category's probability of default, the loss given default (the percentage of the loan not repaid if default occurs) and the exposure at default (the total dollar amount at risk). | | | Mortgages, however, receive a risk-weight of 0.5 under Basel I, but the Basel II bank has proved to its supervisor that a 0.25 weight is appropriate. | | | On June 26, 2004, U.S. and international bank supervisors agreed in Basel, Switzerland, to a framework that alters the way some banks compute their capital requirements-that is, how much equity a bank's owners must keep in the bank. |
