2019 Q2 Quarterly decision on the countercyclical buffer rate
The National Bank of Belgium maintains the countercyclical capital buffer rate for exposures in Belgium at 0% for the second quarter of 2019. 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 2.2% for the non-financial private sector. Although the credit cycle shows signs of acceleration, the buffer remains unchanged while the regulator continues to closely monitor developments in key financial stability metrics.
