LONDON, Nov 11 (Reuters) - JPMorgan is no longer the
world's most systemically-important bank, according to rankings
for additional capital requirements published by the Financial
Stability Board on Wednesday.
After banks had to be rescued by taxpayers in the financial
crisis over a decade ago, regulators have ranked the world's
most important banks in a series of capital "buckets" according
to their size, international reach and complexity.
JP Morgan had been alone in having to hold extra capital
equivalent to 2.5% of its assets on a risk-weighted basis out of
the 30 top banks listed by the FSB, which coordinates financial
rules for the Group of 20 Economies (G20).
JPMorgan has joined Citigroup and HSBC in the
next "bucket" down that requires 2% in extra capital, the FSB
said in the annual review of its list on Wednesday.
Goldman Sachs and Wells Fargo have dropped from 1.5%
to the lowest bucket at 1% applied to 19 of the 30 lenders.
China Construction Bank rises from 1% to 1.5%.
The new capital rankings come into effect in January 2022.
Most lenders already hold capital buffers that are well above
all of their regulatory requirements.
