The Swedish FSA's Capital Joint Assessment 2023 (SREP)

The Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority has informed the Bank about the Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process (SREP) for 2023.

The Pillar 2 requirement (P2R) decreases by 0.1%-unit to 1,3% for the common equity tier one ratio and by 0.1%-units to 2.0% for the total capital ratio. P2R for the common equity tier one ratio increases by 0.5%-units due to the previously communicated temporary add-on for the ongoing review of IRB-models, and decreases by 0.6%-units due to the transfer of the risk weight floor on Swedish commercial real estate lending from P2R to Pillar 1. The transfer increases the risk exposure amount (REA) but the nominal capital requirement for the risk weight floor on Swedish commercial real estate lending decreases marginally.  

The Pillar 2 guidance (P2G) decreases by 0.5%-units to 0.5% from 1.0%.

The Pillar 2 guidance leverage ratio increases by 0.05%-units to 0.50% decision regarding the leverage ratio.

No changes in regards to requirement or guidance regarding liquidity ratios.
