Basel III is not just an increase in capital requirement. Apart from increasing the required level and the quality of banks’ capital, it comes up with the idea of anticyclical regulatory tool, covering shortcomings of Basel II. The capital buffers in Basel III seem to enhance banks’ resilience against economic cycles as well as other systemic risks. However, banks’ management, shareholders and supervisors have to cooperate much more closely to achieve substantial efficiency of the buffers, especially while setting parameters with respect to the macroeconomic situation. Moreover, additional measures have been proposed to protect the banks improper
risk assessment (leverage ratio), and the loss of liquidity (liquidity ratios).
