Basel III and Banking Regulation for Central Bankers: A Comprehensive Training Course

Introduction

Basel III and other international regulatory standards are the cornerstones of modern banking supervision, designed to create a more resilient global financial system. This training course is designed to provide central bankers and financial regulators with a deep and practical understanding of the Basel III framework and its implementation. Participants will gain a fundamental understanding of the key pillars of banking regulation—capital, liquidity, and leverage—and learn how these standards are applied to mitigate risk and safeguard financial stability.

The program also focuses on the ongoing evolution of the regulatory landscape and the challenges of implementing international standards in a domestic context. We will examine the role of new technologies, the impact of climate change, and the lessons learned from past financial crises in shaping the future of banking regulation. By combining theoretical foundations with practical case studies, this course will equip participants with the skills necessary to navigate a dynamic regulatory environment and contribute to a more stable and resilient financial sector.
