Basel Accords are a set of global standards that guide the regulation of the banking industry. These accords aim to enhance the safety and soundness of banks and to reduce the risk of financial crises. Basel Accords were developed by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, an international body of banking supervisors from various countries.
Basel Accord History
