Very academic answer (presumed knowledge based on inbuilt assumptions) useful at some points, but obviously professor never worked in commercial bank (not much pragmatic-empiricist practitioners could use)

I wonder how many bankers and financiers could explain Basel is such clear and compact way. Not many, I presume...

Ok the Basel agreements are great. but are they really imposed in a manner where the banks have to abide by them? Or are they merely guidelines, not imposed by sanctions against the banks? If anyone can explain, thanks in advance!
