Financial Stability Board Consults on Impact of the Too-Big-To-Fail Reforms

The Financial Stability Board has begun its evaluation of the post-2008 financial crisis reforms on banks that were deemed "too big to fail", publishing the summary terms of reference. The evaluation will consider whether the implemented reforms are reducing the systemic and moral hazard risks associated with systemically important banks (or SIBs). The FSB is also asking for feedback from financial institutions and other stakeholders on the impact of these reforms. In particular, the FSB is seeking input on how the reforms have achieved their objectives, the impact of the reforms on SIBs, whether the impact differs for different types of banks, the impact of the reforms on financial system resilience and whether there are any unintended consequences of the reforms. The FSB asks those submitting responses to provide evidence, where possible. Responses should be submitted by June 21, 2019. The FSB intends to use the responses to prepare a draft report on the impact, which would be issued for consultation in June 2020. The final report is expected by the end of 2020.
