This paper examines the capital, liquidity, and profitability metrics of the twenty largest Systematically Important Banks (SIBs) before the COVID-19 pandemic and before the 2008 Global Financial Crisis. The paper concludes that the overall capital adequacy and asset quality of the banks in our sample are generally better before the COVID-19 pandemic than they were before the 2008 financial crisis. However, liquidity and overall profitability are lower than they were before the 2008 financial crisis.
