DNB – Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process (SREP) 2023

The Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway (“the FSA”) regularly (and usually each year) 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 2023.
 
The FSA has decided that the Pillar 2 Requirement for DNB (on a group level) shall be reduced from 2.1 % to 2.0 % 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 decrease the total capital requirement by 0.1 percentage points, while the CET1 requirement will be reduced by 0.056 percentage points and the tier 1 requirement will be reduced by 0.075 percentage points. 
 
The Pillar 2 Guidance is reduced from 1.5 % to 1.25 % of TREA. 

In total, the new Pillar 2 Requirement and Pillar 2 Guidance will reduce the FSA’s expectation of DNB’s CET1 capital ratio by 0.3 percentage points.
