The European Banking Authority (EBA) published today an Opinion following the notification by De Nederlandsche Bank (Central Bank of the Netherlands) of its intention to extend a macroprudential measure introduced in 2020 and activated on 1 January 2022. The measure imposes a minimum average risk weight on Dutch housing loan portfolios for credit institutions that have adopted an internal ratings-based (IRB) approach. Based on the submitted evidence the EBA does not object to the extension of the measure.
