2022 Q4 Quarterly decision on the countercyclical buffer rate: 0%
The National Bank of Belgium maintains the countercyclical buffer rate for exposures in Belgium at 0% for the fourth quarter of 2022. This decision keeps additional capital requirements relaxed to allow banks to use free capital resources to support the real economy amid worsening macroeconomic conditions and high energy prices. The regulator urges financial institutions to remain cautious regarding dividends and profit distributions, and to proactively raise loan loss provisions based on conservative assessments of potential stress scenarios.
