Abstract: In January 2008, the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority introduced the second-generation capital requirement, Basel II, that substantially extended the 1988 Capital Accord of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision. This paper explains the main features of Basel II; reviews concerns about the likely effects of the new capital requirement; and assesses the new capital requirement in the context of the global financial crisis.
