Basel endgame delays push banks to revisit capital planning
AI summary
Regulators have signaled that the final phase of the Basel capital reforms will be implemented over a longer timeline than originally planned, easing the immediate compliance calendar for banks. Even so, mid-sized lenders are being cautioned not to treat the delay as a reprieve, since they still must build models for higher risk weights and tighter liquidity buffers before the next stress cycle. In practice, capital planning and stress-testing work continues largely on the original schedule, with the extension changing the pace of adoption rather than the underlying requirements.
