Wpływ Bazylei III na procykliczność działalności kredytowej

Procyclicality of credit activity is a phenomenon perceived for a long time and widely discussed in the literature. It is of concern primarily in the context of the range of tools impact and optimal level of stringency of prudential regulations that would ensure sustainable economic development. Among these considerations, one can see views that conclusively proved that the force to the end of 2013, the provisions of the Basel II and its amendment (the so-called Basel 2.5) not only does not solve the problem of procyclicality, but also intensify its impact on the economy. Existing since the beginning of 2014 new supervisory regulations (CRR/CRD IV), which is an implementation of the provisions of Basel III, contain many tools and solutions that are assumed to counteract the procyclicality of credit activities, and consequently reduce the cyclical nature of the economy. The purpose of this article is to attempt to assess the solutions implemented in the counter-cyclical provisions of Basel III and their effectiveness and consequences for the banking sector and the entire economy.
