AIB Group plc - SREP
Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process (SREP)
Following the Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process (SREP) performed by the ECB in 2021 and the re-introduction of the UK Countercyclical buffer in December 2022, the minimum requirement for the CET1 ratio for AIB Group plc (AIB) was set at 10.20% for FY 2022 (1) - see table below. The Pillar 2 Requirement reduced by 25bps to 2.75% from 3.00%.
AIB continues to have a very strong capital base with a fully loaded CET1 at September 2021 of 16.6%. The Group's reported capital ratios are materially in excess of minimum regulatory requirements and AIB continues to maintain a very significant buffer above maximum distributable amount (MDA) trigger levels.
AIB does not disclose Pillar 2 Guidance (P2G), however following the ECB's revised P2G methodology, AIB confirms it is in bucket 3 which has a P2G range of 1.00% - 2.75%.
The table below shows the total capital requirements of the Group and components based on an assumption of optimal usage of Tier 2 and AT1 instruments permitted under the Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR).

It is estimated to equate to a Group requirement of c.0.15% in 2022 and c. 0.35% in 2023. |
