Basel III:

Under the new regulation, allocated gold will be considered a Tier 1 asset and will continue to have zero risk weighting. Conversely, banks’ unallocated gold and exposures due to other financial transactions will be considered a Tier 3 asset subject to a Required Stable Funding (RSF) ratio of 85% like other risky assets such as equities. Under the new rules, banks are required to hold physical gold or other liquid assets for an amount equal to at least 85% of the value of unallocated gold on their books.
