2018 Q3: Quarterly decision of the National Bank of Belgium on the countercyclical buffer rate (1 July 2018): 0%

The National Bank of Belgium maintains the countercyclical buffer rate for exposures in Belgium at 0%. This decision applies to credit exposures to counterparties located on Belgian territory and is based on an assessment of macroprudential indicators, including a credit-to-GDP gap of 1.3% for the non-financial private sector in the first quarter of 2018. The regulator determined that current indicators do not signal a build-up of excessive systemic risks requiring a buffer increase, although it will continue to monitor credit cycle developments.
