The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision has issued for consultation its revised Core Principles for Effective Banking Supervision. The consultative paper updates the Committee's 2006 Core Principles document as well as the associated Core Principles Methodology, merging the two into a single comprehensive document. The revised set of twenty-nine Core Principles have also been reorganized to foster their implementation through a more logical structure, highlighting the difference between what supervisors do themselves and what they expect banks to do.
