Title: Capital adequacy requirements for Israeli banks: the impact of the Basel II Accord
Abstract: Israeli banks have been subject to capital adequacy requirements since 1935. The original Basel Accord required Israeli regulators to tighten the existing requirements imposed upon the nation's banks, and the Basel II Accord extended this process. The Israeli regulators have given significant weight to the guidelines of the Accords and are in the process of implementing them. This article addresses the ramifications of Basel II on the Israeli banking system and explores the steps being taken by Israeli regulators to conform to international banking standards.
