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 2016:15) regarding the countercyclical buffer rate. The buffer rate of 2 per cent, which is specified in the Regulations and will apply as of 19 March 2017, shall thus continue to apply. The countercyclical buffer guide is set at 0 per cent.
