Banks and businesses are facing a regulatory overhaul over the next few years which could hit their bottom lines as lawmakers forge new agreements to protect the industry from further crises.

Selwyn Blair-Ford, head of global regulatory policy at one of the world's largest consultancies, Wolters Kluwer, warned that capital requirements could hurt bank profits.

Blair-Ford makes the warning in a video interview with IBTimes UK, in which he also speaks about capital requirement misconceptions and risk management.
