The impact of Basel III on Korean financial services is significant, requiring banks to address capital and liquidity requirements. Korean banks, particularly national banks, have strong capital positions but face challenges in meeting liquidity coverage and net stable funding ratios. Specialized banks are especially vulnerable due to their funding structures and regulatory flexibility. The report emphasizes that banks must adapt by restructuring balance sheets, raising capital, and improving risk management. Korean authorities need to harmonize local regulations with Basel III to reduce the burden on banks, considering the special role of specialized institutions. The long-term implications include potential increased consolidation and shifts in business models, along with a greater importance of central counterparties.
