Outcome of Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process by the FSA and AS LHV Group’s internal capital targets

In December, the Estonian FSA, Finantsinspektsioon, presented AS LHV Group with the outcome of Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process (SREP) capital adequacy calculation. In comparison with the previous evaluation the FSA decided to raise the Pillar 2 capital requirements and guidelines for AS LHV Group. In addition, because of the growth of LHV’s market share Bank of Estonia has decided to increase systemic importance buffer by 0.5%. In December, Bank of Estonia raised the counter-cyclical buffer to the level of 1% and announced the plan to raise it in a years’ time by another 0,5 percentage points.

According to the decision of the FSA, an additional requirement for own funds in the amount 3.40% applies to AS LHV Group, of which at least 1.91% must be covered by Core Tier 1 own funds and at least 2.55% by Tier 1 capital.

The Supervisory Board of AS LHV Group based on the FSA decision and adding to it internal buffers decided to set total CAD target ratio at 19.20%, Tier 1 ratio at 16.35% and Core Tier 1 ratio to 14.20%.
