Decision regarding the countercyclical buffer rate

Finansinspektionen (FI) shall, in accordance with the Capital Buffers Act (2014:966), set a countercyclical buffer guide and a countercyclical buffer rate for each quarter.

FI has decided not to amend FI's Regulations (FFFS 2015:5) regarding the countercyclical buffer rate. The buffer rate of 1.5 per cent, which is specified in the Regulations, shall thus continue to apply. The countercyclical buffer guide is set at 0.75 per cent.
