	Basel problem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Basel problem is a famous problem in number theory, first posed by Pietro Mengoli in 1644, and solved by Leonhard Euler in 1735.
		The Basel problem asks for the precise sum of the reciprocals of the squares of the positive integers, i.e.
		The Basel problem asks for the exact sum of this series (in closed form), as well as a proof that this sum is correct.

		Basel II is another example of what happens when one puts into a room, for several years, a very bright group of people charged with developing a model to address every perceived imperfection in a highly arcane subject area.
		Basel II places inordinate faith in singularly skilled and self-assured supervisors who can understand both a bank's intricate model and its unique real-world risks, and can then identify and advocate technical fixes in the face of rebuttals and protests from the dozens of skilled bank employees who spent years developing the models.
		Basel II banks will have an incentive to find or create the capital model that requires the least amount of its capital, and will even be encouraged to find ways to exchange their high-capital assets with other banks whose own risk-based models (or supervisors) would accommodate a lower risk-based capital charge for those same assets.

	Basel Agreement
		The Issue The Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Waste (hereafter referred to as the "Basel Convention" or "Convention") is the first global attempt to regulate and monitor the international transport of hazardous wastes.
		In the end, the Basel Convention produced twenty-nine articles and six annexes that regulate, from cradle to grave, all hazardous wastes that are to be shipped across national borders.
		Basel provides for extensive regulation of the movement of wastes which will prove beneficial in guaranteeing safe and proper disposal.

	FRB: Testimony, Ferguson--Basel II--February 27, 2003
		Basel II would speed adoption of these new techniques and promote the future evolution of risk management by establishing a framework that is more risk-sensitive.
		The Basel II effort reflects the collective judgment of the supervisors of the world's largest and most complex banking organizations, including those of the United States, that the activities and practices of such firms have been outgrowing our existing supervisory approaches.
		Basel II will provide strong incentives for banks to continue improving their internal risk-management capabilities as well as the tools for supervisors to focus on emerging problems and issues more rapidly than ever before.

	FRB: Testimony, Ferguson--Basel II--June 18, 2003
		One objective of Basel II is to speed adoption of these new techniques and to promote the further evolution of risk measurement and management by harnessing them to the regulatory process.
		As under Basel I, a bank's risk-based capital ratio under Basel II would have a numerator representing the capital available to the bank and a denominator that would be a measure of the risks faced by the bank, referred to as "risk-weighted assets".
		Basel II would not lock risk management into any particular structure; rather Basel II could evolve as best practice evolves and, as it were, be evergreen.

		The proposed Basel I revisions will be made available at about the same time that the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking for Basel II implementation ("Final Rulemaking") is published; so, the two capital standards can be compared directly and modified, if necessary, on the basis of public comment.
		The third challenge that Basel II may present for non-adopters is that bank supervisors may one day decide to apply the best practices from Basel II—potentially including some of the quantitative techniques—to all banks.
		Basel I banks will be competing against Basel II banks, potentially leading to fewer banks with less diversified loan portfolios.

		What is important is for the Basel Convention to inform the POPs treaty negotiators in a balanced and accurate manner as to the Basel Convention's limitations and cease embellishing the Basel Convention's ability at this stage of its development to ensure best practices for POPs destruction.
		Likewise the Basel Convention must accept that the most environmentally protective thing is likely to be legally binding and specific criteria for POPs destruction within the POPs treaty which could then be transposed into the Basel Convention.
		We call on the Parties to the Basel Convention to work together with the POPs Convention to elaborate a set of legally binding criteria that are more specific and rigorous than those elaborated in the Basel Convention for this most serious problem of persistent organic pollutants.

		He considered the Euler angles and studied rotational problems which were motivated by the problem of the precession of the equinoxes.

		Facing a rising chorus of “whoa” from bankers and Congress, the U.S. regulators agree to try to level the Basel II landscape by making revisions to Basel 1 that would apply to the vast majority of banks not required or electing to use Basel II.
		Problem is, they won't know until later, but it takes years of work to get ready.
		Part of the operational risk problem is that large banks compete with non-bank money managers, recordkeepers, disbursement agents and transaction processors.

		The Basel Convention calls on all countries to reduce their exports of hazardous wastes to a minimum and, to the extent possible, deal with their waste problems within national borders.
		Indeed, this is an obligation of the Basel Convention regardless of the level of waste management technology in the importing country.

		Second, Basel II includes new procedures under which supervisory agencies would review a bank’s internal processes for the purpose of insuring that capital and risks are properly evaluated and structured.

		A significant transformation in banking and risk management practices is occurring since the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s Capital Accord was introduced the 1988.
		To be in compliance with Basel II, a banking institution must deliver appropriate reporting of operational risk exposures and loss data to its board of directors and senior management.
		Compliance with Basel II therefore requires analysis of enormous amounts of data, particularly in the case of banks with large networks of domestic and foreign branches.

		While little is known about many aspects of the function (indeed, ζ(3) was only proven to be irrational in 1977 by Apéry, and no-one’s even managed ζ(5) since then), it is possible to give an exact formula in terms of Bernoulli numbers for the zeta of positive, even integers.
