Abstract
In December 2019 the Basel Committee has launched the consolidated Basel framework. The framework inherits the Basel II internal ratings-based (IRB) approach for the credit risk with mostly no changes. The absence of the material methodological changes is unexpected given the fact that the key shortcomings of the IRB approach stay unresolved. The paper objective is therefore to list its earlier discussed shortcomings and to address the new ones. Latter include the unbalanced treatment of PD and LGD parameters, as well as methodological inconsistency in expected and unexpected loss treatment.
