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 2014:33) regarding the countercyclical buffer rate. The buffer rate of 1 per cent, which is specified in the Regulations, shall thus continue to apply. The countercyclical buffer guide is set at 1.65 per cent.
