Systemic risk report (FR Y-15)

A regulatory return listed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Federal Reserve Board), United States.

Collects systemic-risk indicators covering a firm's size, its interconnectedness, substitutability and complexity, its cross-jurisdictional activity, and its short-term wholesale funding. The Federal Reserve uses them to keep the systemic risk profile of large firms under continuous review, to apply the capital surcharge for global systemically important banks (GSIBs), to identify other firms that may pose systemic risk, and to assess proposed mergers and acquisitions.
