The Capital Adequacy Directive was a European directive that aimed to establish uniform

Capital Requirements Directives
starting in 2006.

History

The original 93/6/EEC (CAD1) directive was amended by 98/31/EEC (CAD2), to incorporate banks' own estimate of capital using value-at-risk techniques. Annex 1 models were virtually unchanged by CAD2, so there has been no change in the CAD1 regime.

A third revision of the directive 2006/49/EC was issued on 14 June 2006 and would use the new name of

Capital Requirements Directive (CRD). This came into force together with recast of a related banking directive on 20 July 2006. The main change was the adoption of Basel II guidelines into the directive.[1]

In 2009, 2010, and 2013, three further revisions were issued known as CRD II, CRD III, and CRD IV. The legislation on this matter current as of 2016[update] is known as the CRD IV package (

Capital Requirements Regulation and Directive
).
