About the Committee's work
The core of the work undertaken by the Basel Committee focuses on:
- exchanging information on developments in the banking sector and financial markets to help identify current or emerging risks for the global financial system
- sharing supervisory issues, approaches and techniques to promote common understanding and improve cross-border cooperation
- establishing and promoting global standards for the regulation and supervision of banks, as well as guidelines and sound practices
- addressing regulatory and supervisory gaps that pose risks to financial stability
- monitoring the implementation of BCBS standards in member countries and beyond to encourage their timely, consistent and effective implementation
- consulting with central banks and bank supervisory authorities which are not members of the BCBS to benefit from their input into the BCBS policy formulation process and to promote the implementation of BCBS standards, guidelines and sound practices beyond BCBS member countries
- coordinating and cooperating with other financial sector standard setters and international bodies, particularly those involved in promoting financial stability
