Circular No. (65) Countercyclical Capital Buffer

The Palestine Monetary Authority postpones the implementation of the new countercyclical capital buffer rate until 2027, following a 2024 credit gap report and stakeholder consultations. This decision delays the previously proposed buffer increase that was intended to address the widening divergence between credit growth and real economic performance. The authority will reassess the buffer value next year through a comprehensive review of the updated credit gap.
