5. Basel Accord 1
 Introduced in 1988 by BCBS.
Objectives of Basel Accord 1 are as follows:
• To ensure an adequate level of capital in the
international banking system.
• To strengthen the competitive markets, under which
banks could no longer build in adequate business volumes
without adequate capital backing.
 According to Basel 1, banks are required to hold capital
equal to 8% of the risk-weighted assets.

6. Basel Accord 1
Capital = 8% of Risk – Weighted Asset
•Tier 1: Shareholders Equity
and Reserves and Surplus
•Tier 2: Undisclosed
Reserves, Hybrid
Instruments and
Revaluation Assets
•Risk Weighted
Assets=Assets classified
in the baskets of
10%, 20%, 50%, 100%
(on the basis of quality
of assets)

7. Basel Accord 1
 Drawbacks of Basel Accord 1:
•The measures were seen to be in conflict with
sophisticated internal measures of economic capital
•The bucket approach with a flat 8% charge for claims
on private sector , has led the banks to move high quality
assets off their balance sheet, thus reducing the average
asset quality
•Unable to recognize credit risk mitigation tech
