Basel III is the third of three Basel Accords, a framework that sets international standards and minimums for bank capital requirements, stress tests, liquidity regulations, and leverage, with the goal of mitigating the risk of bank runs and bank failures. It was developed in response to the deficiencies in financial regulation revealed by the 2008 financial crisis and builds upon the standards of Basel II, introduced in 2004, and Basel I, introduced in 1988.
