The Core Principles for Effective Banking Supervision issued in September 1997 represented a global standard for prudential regulation and supervision. The vast majority of countries endorsed the Core Principles and declared their intention to implement them.

As a first step to full implementation, it was suggested that an assessment of the current situation of a country's compliance with the Principles should take place. To assist the assessment process, the Basel Committee developed a methodology for use in compliance assessments. This document The Core Principles Methodology was publicly released. The Committee saw the formulation of this document as an iterative process, with refinements made as experience is gained. Developments of regulatory and supervisory standards and procedures lead to additions and revisions.
