The countercyclical capital buffer and G-SIB surcharge
The Basel Committee provides data regarding the following buffers to facilitate the implementation of the Basel Framework:
- Countercyclical capital buffer: The Basel Committee's countercyclical capital buffer (CCyB) is designed to ensure that banking sector capital requirements account for the macro-financial environment in which banks operate.
- G-SIB assessment methodology and the additional loss absorbency requirement: The Basel Committee's assessment methodology is designed to reduce the probability of failure of a global systemically important bank (G-SIB) by increasing their going-concern loss absorbency capital requirement.
