Developing Framework for Dealing with Domestic Systemically Important Banks
METAC supported the Central Bank of Tunisia (CBT) from 6-10 January in developing a framework for identifying Domestic Systemically Important Banks (D-SIB) and determining D-SIB buffers. The mission provided capacity building on the topic, discussed the criteria and relevant weights and indicators to define the D-SIBs, ran several scenarios and tests, defined the range of relevant buffers, and developed a draft framework for D-SIBs. This was achieved in one mission due to the active participation and collaboration of the authorities’ team and their effectiveness in extracting the data needed to select indicators and run scenarios. Developing a framework for dealing with D-SIBs helps enhancing the implementation of risk-based supervision and promote financial stability.
