The percentages apply to risk-weighted exposures, rather than to a bank’s total assets or deposits.","The central bank said the identification exercise covered all banking groups and stand-alone banks operating in Italy.

The bank-level percentages therefore express regulatory requirements against a risk-weighted base, not a forecast of losses or a ranking of each bank’s overall health.","The decision cites Banca d’Italia Circular No. 285/2013, which implements the European capital-requirement directive and specifies the domestic identification criteria.
