On July 16, 2015, the Basel Committee for Banking Standards
published guidelines for identifying and dealing with weak banks.
The guidelines revise and update the 2002 Basel Committee guidance
for dealing with weak banks to take into account the changes in

resolution frameworks, recovery and resolution planning, stress
testing and macroprudential oversight. The revised guidelines are
directed to supervisors and resolution authorities as well as
international financial institutions advising supervisors.
