Global regulators may trim their list of 29 too-big-to-fail banks earmarked for capital surcharges, according to two people familiar with the talks.
The Financial Stability Board is scheduled to agree on an update of the list at a meeting next week in Tokyo, according to the people, who asked not to be identified because the talks aren’t public. The list may be revised because the potential failure of some of the lenders is no longer deemed to pose a threat to the world economy and because others have restructured, the people said.
