Macroprudential toolkit and recent activations
- Banco do Portugal (BdP) is the designated macroprudential authority in Portugal and has developed a full-fledged macroprudential toolkit.
- In January 2026, BdP activated a countercyclical capital buffer (CCyB) set at a positive cycle-neutral (PCN) target rate of 0.75 percent.
- Since 2023, the toolkit includes a sectoral systemic risk buffer (sSyRB) targeting residential real estate (RRE) risks.
- Borrower-based measures, including LTV and DSTI limits, have been in place since 2018 as recommendations for banks.
Risk monitoring and communication
- BdP has enhanced its risk monitoring framework in recent years.
- BdP has also enhanced its macroprudential communication mechanisms in recent years.
