From Dodd-Frank to Basel III, this graphic explains the current plans for global financial regulatory reform in advanced economies, from the US to the eurozone.

The Basel Committee, which is made up of central bankers and regulators from 27 countries, is the main body responsible for laying down global rules for bank governance. But several countries have looked to impose their own restrictions on the financial system, with differences over areas such as short-selling, bonuses, derivatives and consumer protection.

This graphic explores the next round of reform proposals – Basel III – and their implications for banks, and compares regulatory reform in the major financial centres around the world.

The financial centres covered in the graphic are: US, European Union, UK, Germany, Ireland, Singapore, Hong Kong and Japan.
