The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) has published a
press release providing an update on its workstreams. The BCBS states that it will publish by mid-2025 an update on the outcome of its work to prepare a suite of practical tools to support supervisors in their day-to-day work, taking into account the lessons learned from the 2023 banking turmoil. The BCBS has also committed to analysing recent developments and global practices on banks' information and communication technology risk management. The Committee plans to publish a range of practices report covering its findings in 2026. As part of the BCBS's work relating to non-bank financial intermediaries (NBFIs), the BCBS states that it will conduct a comprehensive investigation into the synthetic risk transfers from banks to NBFIs to provide an enhanced understanding of the risks and benefits of these products and the evolving nature of the transaction structures.
