CRR3 & Basel IV
With the announcement of the Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR) 3 and Capital Requirements Directive (CRD) VI, the EU plans on implementing the Basel IV (Finalising Basel III) reforms with a distinct localized flavour. With several fundamental changes from the existing CRR2, it promises to have a big impact during its implementation (Jan 1, 2025).
