2019 Q4 Quarterly decision on the countercyclical buffer rate
The National Bank of Belgium maintains the countercyclical capital buffer rate for exposures in Belgium at 0.5% for the fourth quarter of 2019. This decision is based on key indicators showing an acceleration of the credit cycle, with the non-financial private sector credit-to-GDP gap exceeding the 2% ESRB activation threshold. The regulator confirms the need to maintain these prudential measures to build precautionary buffers against cyclical systemic risks.
