Basel IV (the finalization of Basel III) does not introduce new rules for Asset and Liability Management. But its indirect impact on ALM is profound: by tightening capital requirements and constraining internal models, it fundamentally reshapes the balance sheets that ALM must manage.
Measures such as the output floor and revised market-risk standards are making capital a binding constraint for many banks. This creates a forcing event: business models, product mix, and balance sheet strategies must adapt to remain competitive and compliant.
Over time, these shifts demand more forward-looking balance sheet projections and tighter integration across ALM, Treasury, and Capital Planning.
This whitepaper translates Basel IV from a regulatory concept into its practical consequences for balance sheet strategy and the evolving role of ALM within it.
