Basel III impact on the Italian banking sector

Bulletin of Applied Economics, 2017, vol. 4, issue 2, 51-55

Abstract: This paper examines the incentives and the effectiveness of tighter regulation of the Italian banks in terms of their profitability. Using balance and off-balance sheet data I focus on the capital requirements and the liquidity characteristics of the banking sector by the convenient Tier 1 ratio and the Basel III long-term Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR), respectively. The empirical findings of the paper underline the important role that the NSFR has as a preventive tool for potential bank failures while addresses the incentives behind the enforcement of higher Tier 1 ratios as a way for more risk averting profiles mainly during turbulent periods.
