OAO Belgazprombank, OAO Belinvestbank, OAO BelVEB Bank, ZAO MTBank, ZAO VTB Bank (Belarus), and OAO BNB-Bank have been assigned to systemic importance group 2.
The banks were classified as systemically important on the basis of an aggregated assessment of their systemic importance by such indicators as the scale of the bank’s operation, its interconnectedness with resident banks, its importance for the economy, and its interconnectedness with non-residents. These indicators were calculated in accordance with requirements of the instruction on the procedure for determining systemically important banks and non-bank credit and financial organizations approved by the National Bank Board’s resolution No.180 of 18 May 2017.
The banks on the list are required to ensure compliance with the regulatory capital adequacy ratios, which values are determined taking into account the systemic importance buffer. Apart from that, the boards of directors (supervisory boards) of these banks need to form a remuneration committee from among their members and the bank’s employees headed by an independent director.
