Designated D-SIBs face enhanced measures including a capital surcharge, more stringent stress testing, a board-approved risk-appetite framework, recovery and resolution planning and focused supervisory engagement.

Scope and exclusions
Applies to
Used by the CBO to assess and supervise licensed banks meeting domestic-systemic-importance criteria; designation and institution-specific measures remain regulatory determinations.
