It summarises the risks run by the group’s entities, and in particular by Euroclear Bank. This is a compulsory disclosure under Basel II. Euroclear Bank and at all consolidated levels, above, as well as Euroclear Belgium and Euroclear SA/NV (stand-alone), comply with the requirements formulated in the transposition of the Basel II Accord into European and Belgian regulation. Basel II differentiates between three so-called pillars, which are expected to be mutually reinforcing: Pillar 1 is centred on the capital requirements related to the credit, market and operational risks that banks run Under Pillar 2, banks are expected to produce their own assessment of capital adequacy, based on the risks they face in their activities, including additional risk types such as market risk in their banking book. Pillar 2 also lays out the interaction between the banks’ own assessment and the banking supervisors’ response Pillar 3 aims to promote market discipline through the disclosure of information by institutions Reports Risk Management at Euroclear including Pillar 3 disclosure 2017 (pdf-744KB) Risk Management at Euroclear including Pillar 3 disclosure 2016 (pdf-433KB) Risk Management at Euroclear including Pillar 3 disclosure 2015 (pdf-398KB) Risk Management at Euroclear including Pillar 3 disclosure 2014 (pdf-2.3MB) Risk Management at Euroclear including Pillar 3 disclosure 2013 (pdf-2MB) Risk Management at Euroclear including Pillar 3 disclosure 2012 (pdf-460KB) Risk Management at Euroclear including Pillar 3 disclosure 2011 (pdf-369KB) Risk Management at Euroclear including Pillar 3 disclosure 2010 (pdf-501KB) The Association of Global Custodians questionnaire The Association of Global Custodians (AGC) is a group of global banks that primarily seeks to address regulatory issues which are of common interest to global custody banks.
