Frequently Asked Questions on Banking & Prudential Regulation Regulations
What is the UK ring-fencing regime for retail banks?
The ring-fencing regime, established under the Financial Services (Banking Reform) Act 2013, requires UK banks with more than 25bn in core deposits to legally and operationally separate their retail banking from investment banking activities.
What is the UK's 'Basel 3.1' implementation timeline and approach?
The PRA's Policy Statement PS9/24 implements the Basel 3.1 standards with an effective date of 1 January 2026. Key reforms include revised standardised approaches for credit risk, operational risk, and market risk (FRTB), alongside an aggregate output floor phased in over four years ensuring standardised risk-weighted assets cannot fall below 72.5% of internal model outputs.
What is the Strong and Simple prudential framework for non-systemic UK banks?
The PRA's Strong and Simple framework simplifies prudential rules for small domestic banks and building societies (Small Domestic Deposit Takers, or SDDTs) with assets under £10bn, replacing complex Basel calculations with simplified capital, liquidity (such as the Retail Deposit Ratio), and reporting obligations without compromising safety and soundness.
