Basel Committee Recommendations are supervisory standards and guidelines for banks issued by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, an international consortium of banking supervisors. These recommendations aim to strengthen regulation, supervision, and risk management practices across the global financial system. They address critical areas such as capital adequacy, liquidity, and operational risk, influencing how traditional financial institutions approach novel asset classes. Adherence to these guidelines is vital for maintaining financial stability.
