Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) and TD Bank remain Canada’s only members on the list of global systemically important banks (G-SIBs), which defines banks considered “too big to fail” by regulators.
The Financial Stability Board (FSB) published its G-SIB list for 2020 on Nov. 11. The list, which is updated annually in November, determines the additional capital and oversight requirements for banks that could pose a risk to the global financial system if they run into solvency trouble.

Only one bank has moved to a higher bucket. China Construction Bank was moved to bucket two from bucket one.
