On April 13, 2016, the US Treasury Department's Office of
Financial Research published a paper analyzing data on global
systemically important banks, based on data released in 2013 and
2014 by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision. The OFR
research report analyzed data regarding 30 banks across the world
identified by the Basel Committee as G-SIBs, including eight US
bank holding companies. The analysis found, among other things, an
increase in the systemic importance scores by Chinese banks, while
the systemic importance scores of US G-SIBs generally reflected
little change and continued to be among the highest amongst global
banks.
