In my January 2015 column,1 I discussed December 2014 proposed revisions to the international risk-based capital requirements using the Standardized Approach. The proposed revisions were issued by the Basel Committee, which develops international capital standards. After review of the comments and analysis of a quantitative study regarding the impact of the proposal on affected institutions, the Basel Committee issued a re-proposal of the changes for comment on Dec. 10, 2015.2 Comments are due by March 21, 2016. This month’s column will discuss highlights of the re-proposal.

The standardized risk-based capital calculations as amended over the years are derived from the original risk-based capital standards issued in 1988.
