摘要：One of the impacts most widely expected and analyzed by international economists regarding the application of the Basel III requirements is the credit squeeze from the financial institutions towards the private sector of a given country, largely due to the increase in capital requirements. However,it seems unlikely that these negative effects will occur in countries that have a previous implementation of Basel III requirements. The main goal of this paper is to analyze the degree of implementation and compliance with the Basel III regulations in Brazil,Mexico and Colombia. The study conducted shows that the analyzed countries have met the Basel III capital and leverage requirements since 2005 due to the reasonable and strict regulation previously implemented. It can there fore be stated that the implementation of the new capital requirements will not have a significant impact on the credit flow among the different financial agents that revitalize the international economies. Nevertheless,to meet the liquidity requirements on time an effort should be made to enhance the capital markets and sovereign risk.
