The Royal Bank of Scotland Group plc - G-SIB Indicators Disclosure
The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision ('BCBS') is conducting a data collection exercise as part of the methodology to assess the systemic importance of banks in a global context, as outlined in the July 2013 document 'Global systemically important banks: updated assessment methodology and the higher loss absorbency requirement'. The Royal Bank of Scotland Group plc ('RBS') is assessed as a global systemically important bank ('GSIB'). The indicators selected by BCBS reflect the size of banks, their interconnectedness, the lack of readily available substitutes or financial institution infrastructure for the services they provide, their global (cross-jurisdictional) activity and their complexity.
The PRA has requested us to publish the full template containing data as of and for the year ended 31 December 2013, based on the 2014 guidance and related FAQs issued by the BCBS. This data has also been submitted to BCBS and will be used to determine the relevant GSIB buffer applicable to RBS when implemented in 2016.
This information was made available on the RBS website at the close of business on 31st July 2014, via the following link: http://www.investors.rbs.com/results-centre/archived-group-results/2014.aspx
