About

• The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, a group of bank supervisors from 28 jurisdictions, created a set of 12 financial indicators (such as size, interconnectedness, complexity, etc.) in 2011 to identify global systemically important banks (G-SIBs). 
• A G-SIB is a bank whose failure could pose a threat to the international financial system. 
• A bank designated as a G-SIB must hold more risk-based capital to enhance its resilience, and is subject to additional regulatory oversight.
