### Research goal and framework
- Proposes a novel taxonomy to identify and track business model evolution for the 30 G-SIBs.
- Taxonomy dimensions:
  - Consolidated lines of business.
  - Geographic orientation.
  - Funding models of international operations.
  - Legal entity structures of international operations.
- Data sources: Drawing from banks’ reporting.

### Key findings
- G-SIBs have adjusted their business models since the Global Financial Crisis.
- A notable adjustment: reduction in market intensity across G-SIBs.
- G-SIBs have maintained international orientation.
- Pressures on funding models and legal entity structures could affect the efficiency of capital flows through the bank channel.

### Analytical implications
- Tracking business model evolution requires multi-dimensional analysis covering lines of business, geography, funding, and legal-entity structure.
- Changes in funding models and entity structures have potential systemic implications by altering capital flow efficiency via banks.

### Policy-relevant observations
- Regulatory and operating environment shifts after the Global Financial Crisis have materially influenced large international banks’ strategies.
- Monitoring of funding-model and legal-entity-structure adjustments is important for assessing cross-border capital flow transmission through the banking sector.
