The Norwegian authorities have decided to increase the minimum requirements on average risk weights for loans secured by Norwegian residential real estate applicable to banks using the internal ratings-based approach (IRB) from 20 to 25 percent, with effect from 1 July 2025. The new minimum requirement will increase the DNB Group’s risk exposure amount (REA) and is estimated to reduce the CET1 ratio by approximately 0.7 percentage points. 

The minimum requirement is imposed in accordance with article 458 of the Capital Requirements Regulation and will apply until 31 December 2026. The Norwegian authorities will ask the European Systemic Risk Board (ESBR) to recommend other countries to reciprocate the new minimum requirements in order for them to also be applicable to foreign banks’ residential real estate loans in Norway.

“DNB has a solid foundation for continued profitable growth, stemming from our strong market positions, leading digital platforms and Nordic footprint. We will build on our leading position in all our customer segments to create enhanced customer value through our best-in-class digital solutions and competitive edge.

The Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway (“the FSA”) regularly carries out a Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process (“SREP”), where they evaluate the risks and capital needs of DNB. The SREP includes a decision regarding the Pillar 2 Requirement and the Pillar 2 Guidance, which comes in addition to the minimum requirements and combined buffer requirements under Pillar 1. DNB has now received this year’s decision from the FSA, which will apply from 31 December 2024.
 
The FSA has decided that the Pillar 2 Requirement for DNB (on a group level) shall be reduced from 2.0 % to 1.7 % of the total risk exposure amount (TREA). At least 56.25 % of the requirement shall be met with common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital, while 75 % must be met with tier 1 capital. The new Pillar 2 Requirement will therefore reduce the total capital requirement by 0.3 percentage points, the tier 1 requirement by 0.23 percentage points and the CET1 requirement by 0.17 percentage points. 
 
The Pillar 2 Guidance is unchanged at 1.25 % of TREA. 

Date: Tuesday 19 November 2024
