Em cumprimento ao disposto pelo Artigo 12, do Capítulo II do Aviso n.º 2/2023, de 28 de dezembro, sobre os Bancos Domésticos de Importância Sistémica (Domestic Systemically Important Banks, sigla D-SIBs), o Banco de Cabo Verde procedeu à classificação em 2025 das instituições de crédito classificadas como D-SIBs, com base nos dados reportados a 31 de dezembro de 2024.
A metodologia definida no Aviso determina que a classificação assenta numa pontuação média de quatro indicadores com pesos distintos, designadamente, a dimensão com 35%, a interconectividade com 20%, a substituibilidade com 35% e o sentimento doméstico com 10%.
De acordo com o Aviso, a regra de classificação estabelece que as instituições cujas pontuações (scores) excedam os 200 pontos são consideradas bancos domésticos de elevada importância sistémica, as que estiverem entre 150 e 200 pontos são designadas bancos domésticos de moderada importância sistémica e as que estiverem entre 95 e 150 pontos são designadas bancos domésticos de ligeira importância sistémica e as que estiverem abaixo dos 95 pontos são consideradassem importância sistémica.
Assim, de acordo com a pontuação, a Caixa Económica de Cabo Verde (CECV) e o Banco Comercial do Atlântico (BCA) são classificados como bancos de elevada importância doméstica, e o Banco Cabo-verdiano de Negócios (BCN) e o Banco Interatlântico (BI) como bancos de ligeira importância doméstica.
O Banco BAI Cabo Verde (BAI CV) figura pela primeira vez, após a classificação inaugural em 2024, com um score de 98 pontos. A instituição será confirmada como sendo banco doméstico de ligeira importância sistémica (reclassificação para escalação superior), se por dois anos consecutivos mantiver uma pontuação média entre 95 e 150 pontos.
