Quarterly decision on the countercyclical buffer rate (1 April 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 an assessment of key macroprudential indicators, including a credit-to-GDP gap of 0.7% for the non-financial private sector in the fourth quarter of 2017. The regulator determined that current indicators do not signal a build-up of excessive systemic risks, although it notes an acceleration in the credit cycle and commits to continued monitoring.
