Abstract

We study the counter-cyclical capital buffer introduced by Basel III and its complementarities with other regulation, particularly dynamic provisioning. We simulate different activation, adjust and deactivation rules for the buffer using historical data for Uruguay. The design and introduction of a counter-cyclical capital buffer following the principles in Basel III should complement actual regulation and serve as an extra tool to mitigate systemic risk in the Uruguayan banking sector.
