We focus on risk spillovers and increased network and tail connectedness between banks, using a sample of nine listed South African banks in 20082023. The implementation of Basel III regulation, particularly capital adequacy ratios, has reduced connectedness-related risks but there is weak evidence of an effect of regulation on bank performance.
