FSA consults on Capital Requirements Directive


The FSA has set out its proposals for key aspects of UK implementation of the EU Capital Requirements Directive (CRD) in a consultation paper (CP) issued today. The CRD is closely linked to the Revised Basel Framework agreed in June 2004. The aim of the CRD is to introduce a modern, risk-sensitive prudential framework for credit institutions and investment firms across the EU.
