Macroprudential measures – Austria

A 1% sectoral systemic risk buffer applies to all relevant exposures to non-financial corporations in the construction and real estate sector located in Austria, excluding non-profit housing associations. The applicable rate is 2% from 1 July 2026  to 30 June 2027, and 3.5% from 1 July 2027 onward.

The Czech National Bank is not reciprocating this measure, as the relevant exposures of domestic banks is immaterial. However, the Czech National Bank will continue assessing relevant exposures and stands ready to amend its decision if necessary.
