STATEMENT OF
FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION
CHAIRMAN DONALD POWELL
FOLLOWING BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING
July 11, 2003
“I’m pleased that we’re giving the industry – at long last – an opportunity to thoroughly
comment on how the proposed Basel II accord would be implemented in the United
States. I hope that this comment period will result in a better understanding of the
Agreement’s impact on bank capital and on competition, both domestically and
internationally. I also hope it will result in exploration of alternatives to the current Basel
II approach that would result in a better alignment of bank regulatory capital to risk. I
look forward to reading the comments from the industry as the FDIC considers its
position on the Accord going forward.”
