Systemic bank infrastructure refers to the core technological and operational systems that underpin major banking institutions. This infrastructure includes critical payment networks, settlement systems, data management platforms, and cybersecurity defenses that ensure the stability and functionality of the broader financial system. For Globally Systemically Important Banks, the robustness and resilience of these systems are paramount to prevent financial contagion and maintain economic stability. It represents the foundational technology enabling essential banking services.
Context
The state of systemic bank infrastructure is undergoing modernization, with increasing consideration for integrating distributed ledger technologies and digital assets. Key discussions involve the security implications of new technologies, regulatory requirements for interoperability, and the potential for real-time gross settlement systems. Future developments anticipate a gradual evolution of this infrastructure to support tokenized assets and central bank digital currencies, aiming for enhanced efficiency and reduced settlement risks within the traditional financial system.
