The term “systemically important bank” in legal framework of many countries stands for banks that in case of bankruptcy or improper operating could trigger systemic risks to the financial system.

The NBU can apply tougher prudential requirements to systemically important banks, as well as higher liquidity and capital ratios. This corresponds to the generally accepted global practices. Systemically important banks are also subject to special banking supervision.

The procedure for identifying systemically important banks is carried out in accordance with the Regulation approved by NBU Board Resolution No. 863 dated 25 December 2014.
