Bank for International Settlements publishes key inputs and cut-off scores for the 2025 global systemically important bank assessment

The Bank for International Settlements’ Basel Committee on Banking Supervision has released additional information on its 2025 assessment of global systemically important banks (G-SIBs) to improve understanding of the scoring methodology, alongside the Financial Stability Board’s updated G-SIB list. The publication provides the global denominators for the high-level indicators used to calculate banks’ scores, the underlying high-level indicator values for each bank in the sample used to derive those denominators, and the cut-off score and bucket thresholds applied to identify G-SIBs and allocate them to buckets for determining higher loss-absorbency requirements. The methodology uses indicators calculated from banks’ previous fiscal year-end (2024) data, supplied by banks and validated by national authorities, with final scores mapped to buckets that set each G-SIB’s higher loss-absorbency requirement. The Basel Committee’s G-SIB interactive dashboard has been updated to reflect the latest results.
