The European Banking Authority (EBA) launched today a consultation to update its data template for the identification of global systemically relevant institutions (G-SIIs). The need for this revision was prompted by the new data template and some minor revisions introduced by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) in January 2015 for the identification of global systemically important banks (G-SIBs). The consultation runs until 20 May 2015.
