Crisis Preparedness of Swedish Banks – Compliance with the MREL Requirement, Q3 2019

Calendar event 29 November 2019 08:00

On 29 November at 8:00 am CET, the Swedish National Debt Office will publish the first-ever report on how Swedish banks comply with their MREL requirements.

The Debt Office will publish the report on its website at 8:00 am CET.

Swedish systemically important banks and financial institutions must have sufficient own funds and liabilities that can be used to absorb losses and written down to restore capital in a crisis. Therefore, the Debt Office makes annual decisions on each bank’s minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL).

For the first time, the Debt Office is publishing a report on how the banks are complying with the requirements. These reports will be published four times a year on a quarterly basis.
