Post by Bank for International Settlements – BIS

The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision met virtually on 24–25 February 2026 to discuss a range of initiatives. Committee members exchanged views on recent market developments and the outlook for the global banking system. They discussed vulnerabilities in government bond-backed repo markets, building on a recent report by the Financial Stability Board, and agreed the implementation of the recently finalised guidelines for counterparty credit risk management guidelines by supervisors and banks will help to address some of the vulnerabilities. It was agreed to monitor progress on the implementation. The Committee also expedited a review of targeted elements of its prudential standard for banks’ cryptoasset exposures. The Committee took note of the progress of the review. An update will be provided later this year. The Committee announced that the next International Conference of Banking Supervisors (ICBS) will be hosted by Bank Indonesia and the Indonesian Financial Services Authority in Indonesia, on 30 September–1 October 2026. Additional information on the ICBS will be provided in due course. For more information: https://bit.ly/4aL4jss
