Securitisation and the massive growth of balance sheets not backed by adequate capital is at the heart of the debate. The only measure completed in 2012, it aims in particular to prevent any systemic risk by combating the risk of bankruptcy. This 2012 paper examines this measure and determines whether the new capital requirements help to reduce bank failures and redirect banks' activity towards their original business. We base our argument on an extensive literature review complemented by an empirical study showing a positive correlation between capital and failure risk for unlisted banks and the focus of risks on banks' core business.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeremy Pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 6205931230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9786205931233\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Our Knowledge Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/26\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.15d","brand":"Jeremy Pages","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44860325691647,"sku":"9786205931233","price":44.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cbc21150-a078-488d-b90c-31ea74a34c66.jpg?v=1709135831","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/basel-iii-jeremy-pages-9786205931233","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
