- The re-application of CRMT for DEGIRO margin loans will lead to an immediate reduction of flatexDEGIRO Group’s risk weighted assets (RWA).
- Based on this, flatexDEGIRO Group’s Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio is thereby to increase to over 27 percent versus a regulatory required CET1 ratio of approximately 15.4 percent, leading to a regulatory capital surplus of approximately 100 million Euro.
- Dr. Benon Janos, CFO of flatexDEGIRO: “The re-application of the credit risk mitigation techniques leads to a substantial improvement of our CET1 ratio and the regulatory capital surplus we hold beyond regulatory requirements.
