Chinese Banks' Rising Systemic Risk: A 2023 Assessment Update

The most recent evaluation of global systemically important banks G-Sibs underscores the escalating prominence of Chinese lers in the annual ranking of financial institutions deemed too-big-to-fl, as evidenced by their significant rise in systemic risk scores over nearly a decade.

In 2014, when the Financial Stability Board first disclosed the benchmark indicator values that form the basis for scoring G-Sibs, the aggregate and average scores for Chinese banks participating in this year's assessment were reported at 2,002 basis points and 119 basis points respectively. This represents a staggering increase of 108 and 46, indicating the growing systemic risk profile associated with Chinese banks compared to their earlier assessment period.

The latest assessment demonstrates that despite global financial turbulence and regulatory adjustments over the last nine years, Chinese lers have significantly elevated their systemic risk scores, capturing a far larger share of systemic risk than they did in the previous benchmarking cycle. This development highlights an evolving landscape where Chinese financial institutions are increasingly recognized for their role and impact on global financial stability.

The findings suggest that Chinese banks' systemic importance has grown notably over time, potentially reflecting changes within the banking sector as well as broader economic shifts and market dynamics. The Financial Stability Board's indicator values are pivotal in determining whether a bank qualifies as systemically important and thus subject to enhanced prudential oversight under various regulatory frameworks.

This information is crucial for policymakers, regulators, and financial institutions alike, providing insights into how Chinese banks' profiles have changed over time and their implications for global financial stability. It encourages continuous monitoring of these changes and further research on the factors driving such shifts in systemic risk exposure across national banking sectors.

In , the latest assessment by the Financial Stability Board reveals a significant increase in Chinese G-Sibs' systemic risk scores compared to 2014 benchmarks. This rise underscores their growing role as systemically important banks contributing to global financial stability discussions and policy-making efforts med at mitigating risks associated with large-scale financial institutions.

Support for improved financial regulation, increased transparency, and robust risk management practices becomes even more imperative in this context, particularly given the evolving nature of global financial systems and the heightened attention on systemic risks posed by major banks like those identified as G-Sibs.
