Governor Erik Thedéen wants the banks to be able to use their buffers more easily. This was one of the messages when he gave his views on the banks’ capital requirements in a panel discussion at SNS/Swedish House of Finance. Another was that the capital adequacy regulations need to be simplified without undermining the resilience of the banking system. He also welcomed the Riksbank taking over responsibility for the countercyclical capital buffer.
