Discuss the purpose of Market Discipline in relation with accounting disclosures under revised Regulatory Capital Framework for banks in line with Basel-II

 The purpose omarket discipline in the revised adequacy framework is to complement the  minimum capital  requirements  and  the  supervisory review process that the aim is to establish more transparent and more disciplined financial market so that stakeholders can assess the position of a bank regarding holding of assets and to identify thrisks relating to the assets and capital adequacy.


1. It  is  expected  that  the  disclosure  framework  does  not  conflict  with requirement under accounting standard as set by BB

2. Under minimum capital requirement, banks will use specified approaches/methodologies for measuring the various risks they faced and the resulting capital requirements.

3. The disclosures should be subject to adequate validation, since information in the annual financial statements would generally be audited and published.
