Countercyclical Capital Buffer Requirement

The Bank of Uganda has approved the Countercyclical Capital Buffer (CCyB) for all commercial banks and credit institutions, setting the requirement at zero percent of risk-weighted assets effective 1 January 2022. This macroprudential policy tool mitigates credit growth procyclicality risks under the Risk-Based Supervision framework. Regulated entities must comply with the calibrated methodology and disclosure standards detailed in the official CCyB Framework until further notice.
