The latest recommendation of Austria’s FMSB to the Financial Market Authority (FMA) is to leave the countercyclical capital buffer (CCyB) unchanged at a rate of 0% of risk-weighted assets.
The 44th meeting of Austria’s Financial Market Stability Board (FMSB) took place on February 26, 2025. The main topics discussed were the countercyclical capital buffer and sustainable lending standards for residential real estate loans.
The FMSB recommends that the FMA prescribe a systemic risk buffer for the subset of risk exposure amounts stemming from commercial real estate lending in the amount of 1% of these risk exposure amounts as of July 1, 2025.
