FSB Consults on Too-Big-To-Fail Refomrs

The Financial Stability Board issues a consultation on the evaluation of the effects of too-big-to-fail (TBTF) reforms fro systemically important banks.  The evaluation's main findings are as follows:

  • TBTF reforms have made banks more resilient and resolvable;
  • The benefits of the reforms significantly outweigh the costs; and
  • There are still gaps that need to be addressed.

The reforms being evaluated include: (i) standards for additional loss absorbency through capital surcharges and total loss-absorbing capacity requirements; (ii) recommendations for enhanced supervision and heightened supervisory expectations; and (iii) policies to put in place effective resolution regimes and resolution planning to improve the resolvability of banks.
