These 30 global banks posing systemic risk to the international banking system, 2016

Two of the biggest US banks, Citigroup and JPMorgann have been designated as potentially posing the greatest systemic risks to the international banking system in an annual ranking issued by the G20’s Financial Stability Board (FSB), an international alliance of central bankers.

Citigroup joins JP Morgan in the 2nd highest ranking, with a capital add-on of 2.5%, replacing HSBC, which drops down one level.

The FSB was set up by G20 after the financial crisis to identify banks that are “too big to fail,” which from 2019 will be required to hold extra capital in the form of bonds to ensure they do not threaten the wider financial system if there is a repeat of the 2008 crisis.
