IMPLEMENTATION OF BÂLE 4 - EUROPEAN COMMISSION PROPOSAL CRR3
Background & challenges
On October 27, 2021, the European Commission published a new banking risk management framework designed to strengthen banks' resilience and better prepare for the future.
The package consists of three parts:
- Implementation of the final Basel reform (Basel 4/CRR3)
- Banks' contribution to green finance
- Enhanced bank supervision (to ensure sound management of EU banks and protect financial stability)
As part of the new Basel 4 requirements, the European Commission's key amendment proposal concerns capital requirements, known as CRR3, covering credit risk, credit value adjustment risk, market risk and floor capital.
In response to this new credit risk management framework, our client Société Générale called on the expertise of one of our consultants to work on a project involving the implementation of a dual credit risk calculation engine, taking into account both CRR2 requirements and the new requirements introduced by the CRR3 amendment.
