The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision has launched its consolidated Basel Framework. The framework brings together all of the Basel Committee's global standards for the regulation and supervision of banks and presents them on a new section of its website.

In April 2019, the Basel Committee issued a draft version of the consolidated Basel Framework. The publication of the standards in a new format focused on reorganising existing requirements, not introducing new requirements or otherwise amending the standards previously agreed and published by the Basel Committee.

The preparation of the standards in the new format did, however, reveal some inconsistencies between Basel requirements as well as ambiguities that needed to be addressed through minor policy changes. Therefore, the Committee published a consultative document that outlined the proposed changes.

The Committee has reviewed the feedback to the consultation and finalised the first (non-draft) version of the consolidated framework. Today's publication sets out the changes that the Committee agreed to make relative to the draft version of the framework and lists the new frequently asked questions and answers (FAQs) added to the framework since it published its April draft.
