Capital requirements of Swedish banks as of the fourth quarter 2017

Finansinspektionen publishes the capital requirements of the ten largest Swedish banks and credit institutions as of the end of the fourth quarter 2017.

Please note: On March 9, 2018, FI corrected an error in the item Capital requirement in P2, excl systemic risk and risk weight floor with regard to the Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) requirement. The memorandum was published on 23 February 2018 with an incorrect level, and FI has therefore decided to publish a corrected memorandum. The error has only affected Landshypotek and Länsförsäkringar.

The disclosure is made in order to illustrate the effect of Finansinspektionen's total capital requirement, including Pillar 2. Pillar 2 is a collective term for the rules that govern the firms' internal capital assessments and Finansinspektionen's supervisory review and evalutation process, where Finansinspektionen's capital assessment forms an integral part.

Finansinspektionen decided on strengthened capital requirements in September 2014.

The disclosure comprises the four large Swedish banks, Handelsbanken, Nordea, SEB and Swedbank, as well as Landshypotek, Länsförsäkringar, Kommuninvest, Svensk Exportkredit (SEK), SBAB and Skandiabanken.
