GHOS Meeting: Basel III implementation and climate-related financial risks

The Group of Central Bank Governors and Heads of Supervision (GHOS), the oversight body of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BIS), met to discuss the implementation of Basel III and its work on climate-related financial risks. The GHOS members unanimously reaffirmed their expectation to implement Basel III in full and consistently and as soon as possible, noting that approximately 70% of member jurisdictions have now implemented, or will shortly implement, the standards. The GHOS tasked the Committee with continuing to monitor and assess the full and consistent implementation of Basel III. GHOS members also discussed the Committee's proposed Pillar 3 disclosure framework for climate-related financial risks. The Basel Committee will publish a voluntary disclosure framework for jurisdictions to consider. In addition, the GHOS discussed the Committee's broader work on climate-related financial risks and tasked the Committee with prioritising its work to analyse the impact of extreme weather events on financial risks.
