On November 3, 2015, the Financial Stability Board published an updated list of banks identified by the FSB and the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision as G-SIBs. The list, which is updated on an annual basis, sets out 30 banks that are considered to be G-SIBs. Compared to the list of G-SIBs identified in 2014, China Construction Bank has been added and Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria has been removed. The next updated list will be published in 2016.
The list of G-SIBs is available at: http://www.financialstabilityboard.org/wp-content/uploads/2015-update-of-list-of-global-systemically-important-banks-G-SIBs.pdf.
