Global systemically important bank indicators

The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (Basel Committee) has established a number of indicators that help determine whether a bank can be classified as a Global Systemically Important Bank, or G-SIB. Banks that meet the criteria are subject to additional supervisory requirements aimed at mitigating systemic risk in the financial system. ING Bank N.V. has been designated as a G-SIB as of November 2011.

In July 2013, the Basel Committee updated its requirements for G-SIBs and updated its guidance for the 12 indicators it uses to classify a bank as systemically important. It also determined that banks with a leverage ratio exposure exceeding EUR 200 billion should disclose these 12 indicators on an annual basis from 2014 onwards.

The table below displays the 12 size indicators for ING Bank as at 31 December 2013. These size indicators are unaudited and based on management’s current views and assumptions of the assessment methodology and instructions of governments and/or regulatory authorities for the data collection exercise. Furthermore, these size indicators are subject to amendment due to changes in management’s views as well as changes in laws, regulations, policies and guidance of governments and/or regulatory authorities with respect to a.o. the assumptions and methodologies used.
