The framework is scheduled to take effect from 1 January 2019 and will supersede the Committee's 1991 standard on this topic. Since publication of the original standard, the financial system has changed dramatically. While many jurisdictions modelled their national rules after the Committee's 1991 guidance, there have been inconsistent results across jurisdictions due to differences in measures of exposure, measures of capital and numerical limits. The revised framework will help ensure a common minimum standard for measuring, aggregating and controlling single name concentration risk across jurisdictions.

Progress in adopting the principles for effective risk data aggregation and risk reporting 2013-12-18T10:00:00Z The progress report provides a snapshot of G-SIBs' overall preparedness to comply with the Principles, as well as the related challenges they face. G-SIBs are increasingly aware of the importance of this topic and have taken steps towards fully implementing the Principles. Nevertheless, many banks are facing difficulties in establishing strong data aggregation governance, architecture and processes, which collectively represent the initial stage of implementation. Instead, they resort to extensive manual workarounds. Notably, of the 30 banks that were identified as G-SIBs during 2011 and 2012, 10 reported that they will not be able to fully comply with the Principles by the 2016 deadline. The main reason reported is large, ongoing, multi-year IT and data-related projects.

The financial crisis that began in 2007 revealed that many banks, including global systemically important banks (G-SIBs), were unable to aggregate risk exposures and identify concentrations fully, quickly and accurately. This meant that banks' ability to take risk decisions in a timely fashion was seriously impaired with wide-ranging consequences for the banks themselves and for the stability of the financial system as a whole. The Basel Committee's Principles for effective risk data aggregation will strengthen banks' risk data aggregation capabilities and internal risk reporting practices. Implementation of the principles will strengthen risk management at banks - in particular, G-SIBs - thereby enhancing their ability to cope with stress and crisis situations.

During the financial crisis, market participants and supervisors were hampered in their efforts to undertake detailed assessments of banks' capital positions and make cross-jurisdictional comparisons. The source of this difficulty was insufficiently detailed disclosure by banks and a lack of consistency in reporting between banks and across jurisdictions. This lack of clarity may have contributed to uncertainty during the financial crisis. The disclosure requirements aim to improve market discipline through enhancing both transparency and comparability.
