LONDON (Reuters) – Global banking regulators set out potential measures on Thursday to crack down on “unacceptable” attempts by the world’s biggest banks to avoid heavier capital requirements.
Globally systemic banks (G-SIBs) must hold more capital than their smaller domestic peers, based on a range of factors.
“The proposed revisions aim at constraining banks’ ability to lower their G-SIB scores through window-dressing,” the Basel Committee said in a statement.
