The regulation required under Basel II is more costly than that required under Basel III, due to the higher liquid assets requirements and the higher levels of primary capital.

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

Consider the claim about Basel II vs Basel III regulations. 
Option 1: True. This would assert that Basel II is more costly due to higher liquid asset requirements and higher primary capital levels. In reality, Basel III introduced substantially stricter standards (e.g., higher minimum common equity tier 1 capital, additional capital buffers, liquidity coverage ratio, net stable funding ratio) that increased both capital and liquidity requirements. Therefore this option misstates which framework is more costly.
Option 2: False. The core truth is that Basel III imposes stronger and more expensive requirements than Basel II, not the other way around. Basel III raised the quantity and quality of capital (notably common equity) and added liquidity and funding standards, which collectively raise the cost of compliance relative to Basel II. The statement incorrectly reverses the comparative burden.
In summary, Basel III is designed to be more stringent and costly for banks compared to Basel II due to tighter capital, liquidity, and funding requirements, so the claim as stated is incorrect.
