As part of the 2022 exercise of the Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process ("SREP"), the European Central Bank has notified ABN AMRO Bank of its final decision regarding the capital requirements for 2023. The Pillar 2 additional own funds requirement remained unchanged at 2%.
The CET1 requirement remains unchanged at 9.7% and consists of a Pillar 1 minimum requirement of 4.5%, a Pillar 2 requirement of 1.13%, a capital conservation buffer of 2.5% and a 1.5% O-SII buffer. The counter cyclical buffer currently is 4bps. Earlier DNB announced that it will activate a 1% countercyclical buffer for Dutch exposures as of 25 May 2023.
