Countercyclical Capital Buffer (CCyB) – Approach to its Implementation

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority issues this non-statutory guideline to explain its approach to implementing the Basel III Countercyclical Capital Buffer for locally incorporated authorized institutions. The framework requires AIs to calculate an AI-specific CCyB based on weighted jurisdictional buffers and mandates quarterly reporting and public disclosure of related capital adequacy data. The MA determines the applicable jurisdictional CCyB for Hong Kong using a transparent Initial Reference Calculator supplemented by comprehensive reference indicators and informed macroprudential judgment.
