CRD Capital Conservation Buffer — EU Directive, MDA Framework & CRD VI Changes

The Capital Conservation Buffer under Art. 129 CRD forms a core pillar of European combined buffer requirements. As a fixed 2.5% CET1 surcharge on total risk exposure, it feeds into the combined buffer requirement alongside countercyclical, systemic risk, and institution-specific buffers. When the buffer is breached, the MDA (Maximum Distributable Amount) is calculated in graduated steps — directly restricting dividend payments, variable remuneration, and AT1 coupon distributions.

We offer a comprehensive portfolio of AI-supported solutions for the strategic implementation of the CRD Conservation Buffer. Our approach combines in-depth capital management expertise with effective technology solutions for sustainable compliance excellence and buffer optimization.
