FI increases transparency in capital requirement for Swedish banks

FI today disclosed for the first time the actual capital requirements for the ten largest Swedish banks and credit institutions at the end of the third quarter of 2015. This is to increase clarity with regard to the effects of FI's capital requirements, including Pillar 2.

Pillar 2 is the collective name for the future capital requirements resulting from FI's total risk and capital assessment. The capital requirement in Pillar 2 is the additional capital requirement aimed at covering risks or risk elements not covered by Pillar 1.

FI has previously published actual values for capital requirements in Pillar 2 on a quarterly basis, with the exception of the part termed Other Pillar 2 requirements, where a standardised value has been used.
