Impactos de Basiléia II sobre o Sistema Financeiro Brasileiro: um estudo do capital exigido para risco operacional

Abstract

The Basel Accord, published by the Basel Committee in 1988, made more secure the financial systems of the countries that adopted it occurred; and along with this, other impacts recurrent to the implementation of the Accord. From the publication of the Second Basel Accord (Basel II), which aims to give more strength to the financial market, new implications are expected. The present research has the objective to evaluate the possible impacts of the implementation of the Basel II on the Brazilian Financial System. Consequently, were realized an exploratory study on the second Accord and a quantitative research of its impact on the Brazilian banks with the creation of the exigency of capital for operational risk proposed by Basel II. Through this study, it was perceived that the capital requirement for operational risk will not have a big impact on the major Brazilian banks, considering that Brazilian banks already operate with rates above the ones that will be required by the Accord. It was also found that, at the moment, the indicators of indebtedness and Basel´s Index have not presented statistically significant variation on the financial institutions analyzed. The indicator of profitability has kept a positive variation.
