The OCC has issued a final rule that
revises and replaces its capital rules. The rule: revises
risk-based and leverage capital requirements consistent with
agreements reached by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision
(BCBS)in Basel III - A Global Regulatory Framework for More
Resilient Banks and Banking Systems; revises and harmonizes rules
for calculating risk-weighted assets to enhance risk sensitivity
and address weaknesses identified in recent years; and revises the
advanced approaches risk-based capital rules consistent with Basel
III and other changes to the BCBS's capital standards.
The significantly lower
estimates are due to the fact that, at the time the prior rules
were adopted, banks had to create from scratch a system of rating
every exposure. In addition, the OCC had no experience with
assisting them and providing clear expectations. A chart comparing
the burden from Basel II and III is attached as a supporting
document.
