        The Central Bank of the UAE has said the Basel-II system has been implemented, asking for tougher capital adequacy levels for a sound banking industry, Khaleej Times has reported. Under the new system, lenders have been directed to maintain a minimum capital requirement of 11% at all times, which would be increased to 12% by June 30, 2010. Furthermore, main banks in the country are expected to migrate to the Foundation Internal Ratings Based approach, in due course.
