Regulation on Macroprudential Capital Buffers
The Board of the Central Bank of the Republic of Kosovo issued this regulation to establish and specify macroprudential capital buffers that all licensed banks must hold in Common Equity Tier 1 capital. It mandates countercyclical, other systemically important institution, and systemic risk buffers calibrated to risk-weighted exposures, while restricting dividend distributions and variable remuneration when combined buffer requirements are unmet. Non-compliant banks must submit capital preservation plans within five days and face corrective measures or civil penalties enforced by the CBK.
