How do you manage risk in times of great uncertainty.
-

-
External discipline: what international and national regulators – such as the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, the Committee of European Banking Supervisors and BaFin – are doing to oblige banks to strengthen their risk management frameworks.
-
The benefits: better risk governance, greater integration of all risk activities, more accurate risk data and modelling, robust stress-testing and changes in pay and bonus policies to reduce excessive risk-taking.

The drawbacks: higher capital and liquidity requirements will reduce lending capacity
