Macro-prudential capital buffers are added to the basic regulatory requirements of bank capitalization, which are set out in the regulation “On capital adequacy.”

From 12% which is the minimum limit of capital adequacy, with the buffer of 1% it goes up to 13%.

The regulation on macro-prudential capital buffers was adopted in mid-2019 to be implemented gradually by 2024.

The requirements for a higher capitalization of banks are in line with the measures taken by counterpart institutions in Europe.
