Six years after the outbreak of the financial crisis, there has been substantial progress in the post-crisis regulatory reform agenda, with a number of important milestones reached. Therefore, now is a good time to take a step back and ask how the different bits and pieces of the regulatory framework fit together.

Today, I want to talk about "implementation" - a term that has gained even more attention as the policy design phase draws to a close. Regulators as well as supervisors are now accountable for the outcomes produced by the raft of new rules. ...

Good afternoon. It is my great pleasure to be with you in Amsterdam today at the DNB's seminar on "Liquidity risk management - the LCR and beyond". Let me begin by acknowledging that this seminar is being held as part of the DNB's 200th anniversary celebrations - a milestone to be very proud of. Of course, coming from Sveriges Riksbank, which was founded 346 years ago, I can't help but note you are still a young organisation in comparison.

The invitation to speak at this important event is especially welcome as we in the Basel Committee view conferences like this one as an essential part of the conversation between regulators and the industry. Moreover, since some of what I have to say today will delve into technical issues, an audience of risk experts must be close to ideal. The location, too, is appropriate. It was in this city, seven years ago, that the seemingly solid ground under the financial system started to shift under our feet. Even now, it's fair to say that we are still working to rebuild confidence in the stability of the financial system. Today, I would like to briefly revisit some of the reasons why confidence was lost. Then I will outline what the Basel Committee is doing to help restore it.

Strengthening bank capital is not simply about asking banks to hold more capital. Rather, it is a broader objective that involves ensuring the functioning of the entire capital regime. The Basel Committee's approach has therefore been to work extensively on the consistent implementation of the regulatory capital framework.

I would usually describe bankers as 'glass half full' people, and regulators as their 'glass half empty' counterparts. To take an obvious example, where banks might first see opportunity for reward, regulators will first see exposure to risk. The two perspectives are, of course, just different sides of the same coin. But they are perspectives that define and create the healthy tension in the bank/regulator relationship. When it comes to recent regulatory reforms, though, I find the situation strangely reversed - bankers are somewhat despondent, lamenting gaps and inconsistencies, while regulators are focusing on the good and steady progress that has been made. We are looking ... Global consistency in financial regulation: is the glass half full, half empty, or just more transparent? 2013-09-10T08:30:00Z Remarks by Wayne Byres, Secretary General, Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, at the RiskMinds Risk and Regulation Forum, Nice, France, 10 September 2013.

When it comes to recent regulatory reforms, though, I find the situation strangely reversed - bankers are somewhat despondent, lamenting gaps and inconsistencies, while regulators are focusing on the good and steady progress that has been made. We are looking at the same objective facts, so when it comes to the consistency in the implementation of global regulatory reforms, should we see the glass as half full or half empty? And what is our benchmark when we say that things are getting better or worse? When we look at prudential and regulatory outcomes, how much of any problem is caused by regulators, and how much stems from banks themselves? I plan to offer some thoughts on these questions in my remarks this morning.

Today marks a good start to the New Year. I am very pleased to announce that the meeting earlier this afternoon of Governors and Heads of Supervision reached a unanimous agreement on the regulation of banks' liquidity through the Liquidity Coverage Ratio.
