FI Raises Capital Requirements for SEB After Finding More Extensive Credit Model Deficiencies

The Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority (FI) has temporarily increased the capital requirements for major bank SEB after identifying more extensive deficiencies in the bank’s credit risk models than previously known.

Capital requirements refer to the financial buffer a bank must maintain to cover unexpected credit losses.

"The measure reduces the risk that capital requirements fail to fully reflect what they should. It also counteracts the risk that, while the deficiencies remain, the bank enjoys an unfair advantage that could distort competition," FI writes in a press release.
