    Solution

    Pillars of the Basel III Norms for Banking → Pillar 1 - Minimum Regulatory Capital Requirements based on Risk Weighted Assets (RWAs): Maintaining capital calculated through credit, market and operational risk areas. → Pillar 2 - Supervisory Review Process: Regulating tools and frameworks for dealing with peripheral risks that banks face. → Pillar 3 - Market Discipline: Increasing the disclosures that banks must provide to increase the transparency of banks. Liquidity risk and measurement and management of liquidity risk is a major addition to the BASEL III norms. However, it is not one of the three pillars but a part of the mechanism to strengthen the existing 3 pillar framework under Basel Accords.
