Basel Committee agrees to publish report on information and communication technology risk management, progresses cryptoasset targeted review, considers targeted updates on liquidity risk principles
Why this matters
This is a Basel Committee press release documenting meeting outcomes and regulatory work in progress. The Committee approved publication of an ICT risk management practices report (addressing operational resilience), is progressing a targeted review of cryptoasset prudential standards, and is considering updates to liquidity risk principles. While these represent significant policy work affecting banks, the content is informational rather than a final rule or binding obligation—hence urgency is null. The significance score of 3 reflects noteworthy regulatory signals and concrete guidance on multiple fronts (digitalisation, cryptoassets, liquidity, macroprudential policy, and climate risk), with updates promised later in 2026.
