Markit Launches Basel III Compliance Solution

The Basel III regulations are set to begin being enforced in January of next year.

Financial information services company Markit today announced the launch of a Basel III compliance platform for financial institutions.

Markit Analytics CVA & Capital helps financial institutions integrate the management of credit valuation adjustment (CVA) and internal model capital, said Markit, which is based in London.

According to the company, by using the solution as a unified simulation engine to calculate CVA, funding valuation adjustment (FVA) and internal model capital for CVA, counterparty credit risk (CCR) and market risk, banks are able to meet regulatory requirements and enhance their active portfolio risk management capabilities while saving costs.

Basel III, a set of global regulations on bank capital and risk management set by The Basel Committee of global regulators, will be formally phased in starting January 2013.
