Global banking regulations are designed to ensure the stability, transparency, and integrity of the financial system, protecting both consumers and the broader economy. These regulations vary by country, but they generally focus on aspects such as capital requirements, risk management, anti-money laundering (AML), and consumer protection. Key frameworks like the Basel Accords set international standards for capital adequacy, liquidity, and leverage to help banks withstand economic shocks. Basel III, the most recent update, emphasizes stronger capital buffers and more robust risk management practices.
