2022 Q2 Quarterly decision on the countercyclical buffer rate: 0%
The National Bank of Belgium maintains the countercyclical capital buffer rate for exposures in Belgium at 0% for the second quarter of 2022. This decision keeps the buffer unchanged from the previous quarter, despite credit growth indicators showing renewed dynamism comparable to 2019 levels. The regulator cites current uncertainty regarding macro-financial developments, including the economic fallout from the war in Ukraine, as the basis for adopting a wait-and-see approach before assessing potential reactivation in the third quarter.
