Basel III and Emerging Market Banks

Basel III is a requirement for many banks globally. Due to Basel's genesis, the requirements are significantly influenced by developed market financial requlators. Given the economic and country risks in emerging market countries, they have their own unique challenges in complying with the Basel accords. Also, as emerging market's banking sectors are increasingly involved in more commercial and investment banking activities with banks in developed markets, their level of risk management and adherence to Basel III is becoming more and more important to financial market participants.

This interactive course explores the areas in which Basel III is a challenge to some emerging market banking sectors. Significant attention will also be placed on those countries where the banking sectors are healthier than those in developed countries. The course is interactive and is comprised of a lecture, case studies, and topical articles to supplement discussion of recent developments in Basel III implementation.
