The Federal Reserve Board announced that data is now available for use evaluating the individual systemic footprint of 33 large US bank holding companies.
On 26 June 2014, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System ("Federal Reserve Board") announced that data is
now available for use evaluating the individual systemic footprint
of 33 large US bank holding companies. The data covers five
categories often used when considering the potential systemic risk
of a banking organization: size; interconnectedness; complexity;
substitutability, which is a measure of how easily a firm's
activities can be replaced by another firm; and
cross-jurisdictional activity, which includes foreign liabilities
and claims.
The information will be published annually based on data from
the previous calendar year.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general
