• 29 banks remain in the FSB’s annual list of global systemically important banks (G-SIBs).
  • Compared with the list of G-SIBs published in 2024, three banks have moved between categories (i.e. buckets): Bank of America and Industrial and Commercial Bank of China have moved to a higher bucket, corresponding to a higher capital requirement, while Deutsche Bank has moved to lower bucket, corresponding to a lower capital requirement. 
  • The changes in the allocation to buckets largely reflect the effects of changes in the complexity of banks’ underlying activities.

The Financial Stability Board (FSB) today published the 2025 list of global systemically important banks (G-SIBs) using end-2024 data and applying the assessment methodology designed by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS).

The number of banks identified as G-SIBs remains at 29. There were no additions or removals from the list. However, compared with the list of G-SIBs published in 2024, Bank of America and Industrial and Commercial Bank of China have moved from bucket 2 to bucket 3 (corresponding to a higher capital requirement), while Deutsche Bank has moved from bucket 2 to bucket 1 (corresponding to a lower capital requirement).
