The O-SII capital buffer reflects the cost for an institution of being systemically important and reduces the moral hazard from the support of the institution from the state and the taxpayers and compensates for the higher risk it represents for the national financial system and the potential consequences of its failure.
The Macroprudential Authority obliges each O-SII to maintain an O-SII capital buffer of up to 2% of its total exposure amount.
The methodology followed by the Macroprudential Authority for the designation of the Other Systemically Important Institutions can be found here.
A list of the CIFs which have been designated by the Central Bank of Cyprus as Other Systemically Important Institutions (O-SII institutions), as well as the level of the O-SII capital buffer that each Systemically Important Institution must maintain, can be found here.
