RBI Issues Final Basel III Market Risk Capital Guidelines for Banks Effective 2027
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has issued final directions for minimum capital requirements for market risk under the revised Basel III framework, effective April 1, 2027. The guidelines mandate the use of a Simplified Standardised Approach for calculating risk-weighted assets and prohibit banks from reclassifying instruments between trading and banking books to lower capital requirements. The directions also revise interest rate risk tables and incorporate updated rules on foreign exchange risk and debt mutual funds, aiming to align with Basel Committee standards while ensuring regulatory simplicity and flexibility.
