The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) has updated its 2002 supervisory guidance on dealing with weak banks. Key changes include:
- emphasising the need for early intervention and the use of recovery and resolution tools, and updating supervisory communication policies for distressed banks;
- providing further guidance for improving supervisory processes, such as incorporating macro-prudential assessments, stress testing and business model analysis, and reinforcing the importance of sound corporate governance at banks;
- highlighting the issues of liquidity shortfalls, excessive risk concentrations, misaligned compensation and inadequate risk management; and
- expanding guidelines for information-sharing and cooperation among relevant authorities.
