Basel III Pillar 2 — Supervisory Review Process and Capital Adequacy

Pillar 2 of the Basel III framework requires banks to conduct an Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP) and Internal Liquidity Adequacy Assessment Process (ILAAP), both reviewed by supervisors through the SREP. The resulting Pillar 2 Requirement (P2R) is legally binding and must comprise at least 56% Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1). Additionally, Pillar 2 Guidance (P2G) sets supplementary capital buffers for stress scenarios.

We offer a comprehensive portfolio of AI-supported solutions for the strategic implementation of all Basel III Pillar 2 requirements. Our approach combines deep supervisory expertise with effective technology solutions for sustainable compliance excellence and supervisory superiority.

7 QUESTIONS, BRIEFLY ANSWERED

Frequently asked questions about Basel III Pillar 2 - Supervisory Review Process

What is the difference between P2R and P2G in the SREP?

The Pillar 2 Requirement (P2R) is a legally binding capital add-on set individually for each bank during the SREP, covering risks not adequately captured by Pillar 1. P2R must consist of at least 56% Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1). Pillar 2 Guidance (P2G) is non-binding and defines additional capital buffers to ensure banks maintain minimum requirements even under stress scenarios.

What does the ICAAP require from banks?

The Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP) requires banks to identify, quantify and cover all material risks (credit, market, operational, concentration and interest rate risks) with sufficient own funds. The ICAAP must be board-approved, documented and regularly reviewed. It forms the basis for the bank-specific P2R determination in the SREP.

What changes in the SREP process from 2026?

The ECB applies a revised methodology from the 2026 SREP cycle. The overall CET1 capital requirement remains largely stable at 11.2%. P2R decisions based on the new methodology take effect on 1 January 2027. Banks should assess early whether their internal capital planning processes meet the updated assessment criteria.

How are ICAAP and ILAAP related?

ICAAP and ILAAP are complementary Pillar 2 instruments: ICAAP assesses capital adequacy, ILAAP assesses liquidity adequacy. Both are jointly reviewed in the SREP. The ECB expects an integrated approach where capital and liquidity risks are analysed in their interactions rather than in isolation, for example through stress tests that simultaneously model capital and liquidity effects.

What four areas does the SREP assessment cover?

Supervisors assess four core areas in the SREP: (1) Business model analysis: viability and sustainability of the business model, (2) Governance and risk management: internal controls, systems and risk culture, (3) Capital risks: adequacy of own funds via ICAAP and stress tests, (4) Liquidity risks: adequacy of liquidity via ILAAP and liquidity stress tests.

What does risk-bearing capacity mean in Pillar 2?

Risk-bearing capacity refers to a bank ability to cover all material risks with sufficient own funds at all times. Under the German supervisory framework, BaFin distinguishes between the normative perspective (maintaining regulatory ratios over at least three years) and the economic perspective (economic substance covers economic risks). Both perspectives feed into the ICAAP and thus the SREP assessment.

How does ADVISORI support SREP preparation?

ADVISORI guides banks through the entire SREP cycle: ICAAP and ILAAP setup or optimisation, risk inventory and quantification, capital planning calculation, stress testing framework, preparation for supervisory dialogue and follow-up on SREP decisions. Our data-driven approach has delivered demonstrably better P2R outcomes across 20+ projects.
