NBS increased capital cushion for ČSOB

The banking sector has ample free capital to finance the domestic economy, the central bank NBS said. Its capital adequacy ratio stood at a solid 21.2% of risk-weighted assets at end-2025. In April, NBS revised the capital buffer settings for locally systemically important banks SLSP, VÚB, Tatra banka, ČSOB, and Prima banka. Only ČSOB saw a change as its buffer rose from 1% to 1.25% following its acquisition of 365.bank. SLSP retains a 2% buffer, VÚB 1.75%, Tatra banka 1.5%, and Prima banka 0.25%.
