Less Likely to Fail: Strengthening Regulation

Thomas F. Huertas

Chapter 2 in Safe to Fail, 2014, pp 21-49 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract To make banks less likely to fail, authorities in all principal jurisdictions have decided to strengthen regulation. Using the agreements in the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision as a foundation, authorities have raised capital requirements, instituted liquidity requirements and set standards for governance, risk management and remuneration. Together these measures will reduce the likelihood that banks will fail.
