BCBS 2013 update of the G-SIB framework
Basel Committee on Banking Supervision updated methodology for assessing and identifying global systemically important banks (G-SIBs). Describes additional loss absorbency requirements that will apply to G-SIBs, the phase-in arrangements and the disclosures banks above a certain size are required to make. Assessment methodology is based on an indicator-based approach and comprises five broad categories: size, interconnectedness, lack of readily available substitutes or financial institution infrastructure, global (cross-jurisdictional) activity and complexity. Additional loss absorbency requirements will range from 1% to 2.5% Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) depending on bank's systemic importance with an initially empty bucket of 3.5% CET1 as means to discourage banks from becoming even more systemically important.
