The Reserve Bank of New Zealand proposes implementing core Basel III capital measures, including stricter definitions for Common Equity Tier 1, Additional Tier 1, and Tier 2 capital, alongside a new leverage ratio. The consultation seeks submissions on these proposals by 27 January 2012, with an expected effective date of 1 January 2013 for locally incorporated banks. The Reserve Bank also requests that banks complete a quantitative impact assessment to evaluate the effects of these stricter capital requirements.
