Poland's FSA revises forex loan-related capital requirements for BG BNP Paribas

The Polish Financial Supervision Authority asked Bank BG BNP Paribas SA to maintain additional capital buffers to cover risks stemming from its foreign-currency mortgage exposure.

The FSA recommended that the bank should hold its own funds to cover an additional capital requirement at 0.68 percentage point for its total capital ratio, 0.51 percentage point for its Tier 1 ratio and 0.38 percentage point for its core Tier 1 ratio at a consolidated level, the bank said on Dec. 27.

In March, the FSA told the lender to maintain a total capital ratio buffer of 0.72 percentage point, of which at least three-quarters was to be Tier 1 capital.
