2025 Q2 Quarterly decision on the countercyclical buffer rate: 1.0%
The National Bank of Belgium maintains the countercyclical buffer rate for credit exposures in Belgium at 1.0% for the second quarter of 2025. This decision applies to banks' risk-weighted assets and remains in effect following a previous increase to this level in October 2024. The regulator cites the need for additional capital reserves due to ongoing challenges in corporate sectors and macro-financial vulnerabilities, despite a strong financial position in the banking sector.
