After the finalisation of the new regulatory framework (referred to as “Basel III”) in December 2010, its impact is monitored semi-annually by both the Basel Committee at a global level and the European Banking Authority (EBA) at the European level, using data provided by participating banks on a voluntary and confidential basis. This report is the third publication of results of the Basel III monitoring exercise and summarises the aggregate results using data as of 30 June 2012.
