The Basel Committee acknowledges that Basel II has increased cyclicality, but says this is a trade-off for greater risk sensitivity in banks’ regulatory capital requirements. New measures are now being proposed by the Committee to make banks more resilient to procyclical dynamics, and to help “ensure that the banking sector serves as a shock absorber, instead of a transmitter of risk to the financial system and broader economy.”
