Statements 2 and 3 are incorrect. The primary purpose of identifying D-SIBs is not to provide government bailouts. Instead, the identification is part of a regulatory framework to ensure that these banks are subject to additional regulatory requirements and higher capital buffers to mitigate the risks they pose to the financial system.
