On 23 March 2026, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (Basel Committee) issued a document containing a technical amendment on the standardised approach to operational risk.
In June 2025, the Basel Committee issued a proposed technical amendment for consultation related to the standardised approach to operational risk. The technical amendment sought to clarify the treatment of “rental income from investment properties” under the business indicator, which is used as a key input in calculating operational risk capital requirements.
The document now published sets out the final revised standard which the Basel Committee has agreed to implement by 1 April 2029. The revised text has also been incorporated into the consolidated Basel Framework (OPE – Calculation of Risk Weighted Assets for operational risk). Also, the Basel Committee has finalised a response to an FAQ on market risk and consequential amendments to related FAQs which have also been added to the Basel Framework and are set out in the document’s annex for information.
