Commerzbank ( (DE:CBK) ) just unveiled an update.
Commerzbank has announced a reduction in its Pillar 2 capital requirement by 10 basis points to 2.15% for 2026, following the European Central Bank’s annual Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process. This decision reflects the ECB’s confidence in Commerzbank’s business model and growth trajectory. The bank’s CEO, Bettina Orlopp, highlighted that the reduced capital requirements allow Commerzbank to maintain a comfortable buffer above the Maximum Distributable Amount threshold, enabling continued investment in its business model and attractive capital returns to shareholders. The unchanged leverage ratio requirement and the bank’s strategic plans to maintain a CET1 ratio of 13.5% by 2028 further underscore its stable financial positioning.
