Banks told to double their cash reserves Basel III regulators reveal measures designed to prevent banks running out of liquidity. telegraph.co.uk Details of the Basel III regulations were unveiled last night in a move designed to prevent banks from running out of liquidity as they did in the autumn of 2008. The new rules, to be phased in between 2015 and 2018, demand that banks hold 4.5pc of common equity and retained earnings. The current minimum for core Tier 1 capital is 2pc. They also insist on a “buffer” of 2.5pc to be built up in good times, taking the total capital required to 7pc. Banks can dip into the buffer in times of hardship, but if so, they must restrict dividend payments.
