Basel II Which of the following was done under Basel II guidelines? Revisions were made to what assets banks could invest in. Revisions were made to the type of analysis banks should do based on the potential of negative economic scenarios. Revisions were made recommending that banks maintain a capital conservation buffer of at least 2.5 percent of their risk-weighted assets. Banks’ capital ratio requirements began to factor in operational risk. Basel III Which of the following was done under Basel III guidelines?

Under the IRB-A approach of Basel II, a bank loan of $1 million granted to a corporate rated BBB by Moody's has an estimated risk-weight of 17.4% if the Loss Given Default (LGD) is 10%. For the same credit, if the LGD parameter were higher, say 50%, the estimated risk-weight would have been 87.1%. Compute the RWA in both cases. What should be the minimum capital requirement in both cases? Compare the results with the minimum capital requirement computed for the same loan under (1) the Standardized Approach of Basel II; and (2) the Basel I capital accord. Conclude and discuss.
