Detailed explanation-1: -Basel III introduced the use of two liquidity ratios, including the Liquidity Coverage Ratio and the Net Stable Funding Ratio. The Liquidity Coverage Ratio mandates that banks hold sufficient highly liquid assets that can withstand a 30-day stressed funding scenario, specified by the supervisors.

Detailed explanation-2: -Basel regulation has evolved to comprise three pillars concerned with minimum capital requirements (Pillar 1), supervisory review (Pillar 2), and market discipline (Pillar 3). Today, the regulation applies to credit risk, market risk, operational risk and liquidity risk.

Detailed explanation-3: -Unlike the Basel I Accord, which had one pillar (minimum capital requirements or capital adequacy), the Basel II Accord has three pillars: (i) minimum regulatory capital requirements, (ii) the supervisory review process, and (iii) market discipline through disclosure requirements.

Detailed explanation-4: -Due to the impact of the 2008 Global Financial Crisis on banks, Basel III was introduced to improve the banks’ ability to handle shocks from financial stress and to strengthen their transparency and disclosure.
