1.            Discuss the framework of Basel Accord – I and II and explain the changes proposed in the Basel Accord – II for the Basel Accord – III.

Answer : Basel I is the round of deliberations by central bankers from around the world, and in 1988, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) in Basel, Switzerland, published a set of minimum capital requirements for banks. This is also known as the 1988 Basel Accord, and was enforced by law in the Group of Ten (G-10) countries in 1992.
