THE BASLE II ACCORD is expected to be implemented in 2007 as the basis for global bank regulation, directly affecting the capital required to support an estimated $50 trillion of global credit exposures. Like Basle I in 1988, Basle II will have consequences for a wide range of banking activities, and has already led to extensive political lobbying and pre-emptive strategic positioning.
We estimate that banks will spend around $25 billion (five basis points of assets) preparing for implementation, with the largest banks typically investing $50 million to $200 million over five years.
