As a response to the crisis, the G20 countries set up the Financial Stability Board, a global watchdog for financial institutions. One of its responsibilities is to identify the banks that can't go bust without causing a domino effect.

The FSB calls such institutions global systemically important banks, or GSIBs, and on Tuesday it published a list of them.
