Also, cross-border activities by banks in the region can’t be used to determine if they qualify as D-SIBs, as these activities are insignificant. II. Issues for consideration  1. The BCBS assessment framework suggests that Local regulators are entrusted with the task to set up their own methodology for the process of identifying which banks to be considered as D-SIBs.
Nonetheless, some general guidelines on the subject from BCBS would be helpful, and they will make the exercise more consistent region-wide. 2. Central Banks in our region could develop a peer-group approach for this exercise so they could learn from each other. 3. It seems that the D-SIBs proposal is restricted to banks. Would Non-bank Financial Institutions (NBSFIs) be considered?
