China abandons early adoption plan for Basel III

china

China had circulated draft rules in August 2011 with the intention of implementation at the start of 2012, a year ahead of the Basel Committee's timeline. However, Chinese regulators have been moving cautiously due to the ongoing eurozone crisis and fears that early implementation would slow the domestic economy.
