EBA issues Opinion on measures to address macroprudential risk following notification by the Finansinspektionen
The European Banking Authority (EBA) published today an Opinion following the notification by Finansinspektionen, the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority (FSA), of its intention to extend a measure originally introduced in 2018 and extended in 2020. The measure entails a credit institution-specific minimum level of 25% for the average risk weight on Swedish housing loans applicable to credit institutions that have adopted an internal ratings-based (IRB) approach. Based on the evidence submitted, the EBA does not object to the extension of the measure.
