Abstract: This article is devoted to the banking sector regulation in the European Union and worldwide. The banking regulation is used to control banking risk activities and sustainable portfolio growth. Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) coordinates this regulation process and supervision in the world. BCBS prepared the latest regulation called Basel 3. The European Union implemented Basel 3 with legislative package called CRD IV. We describe Basel 3 and CRD IV provisions with focus on capital adequacy, liquidity and leverage. CRD IV improves the capital quality and brings new capital buffers for systemic important institutions and systemic risk, conservative buffer and countercyclical buffer. CRD IV strengthens liquidity and leverage regulation. There are introduced three controlled ratios: liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) for short-termed liquidity, net stable funding ratio (NSFR) for long-termed liquidity and leverage ratio (LR) for leverage analysis. They are calibrated. There are described differences among these documents. Finally, we sum up assessment studies about Basel 3 and CRD IV impact on the European banking sector and economy.
