On 19 November 2025, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (Basel Committee) issued a press release regarding its recent meeting in Mexico City.
The press release briefly covers the financial stability outlook, digitalisation of finance and implementation of Basel III.
When discussing these topics the press release notes that:
- The use of synthetic risk transfers has grown rapidly over the past decade and it is important that banks and supervisors address potential risks stemming from such transactions.
- The Pillar 3 disclosure framework enables market participants to access key information about the risk profiles of banks. The Basel Committee agreed to consult on measures that would make this data available in a machine-readable format in order to improve the accessibility and usability of the data. A consultation paper will be published in December 2025. The Basel Committee also approved the final principles for the sound management of third-party risk in the banking sector, following its consultation last year. The final principles will be published next month.
- The full and consistent implementation of Basel III continues to be the highest priority of the Basel Committee. The Basel Committee has agreed to consult on consolidating its guidelines and sound practices on Basel III into a user-friendly format. A consultation paper will be published in Q1 2026.
