Quarterly decision of the National Bank of Belgium on the countercyclical buffer rate (1 October 2018): 0%

The National Bank of Belgium maintains the countercyclical buffer rate for exposures in Belgium at 0%. This decision applies to credit exposures to counterparties located on Belgian territory and is based on indicators such as a 2.5% credit-to-GDP gap for the non-financial private sector. Although the credit cycle is accelerating, current data does not yet indicate major excessive systemic risks requiring a buffer increase.
