About Countercyclical Capital Buffer (CCyB)

  • Genesis The framework for CCyB was introduced in the aftermath of the 2008 global financial crisis, as part of international financial stability measures endorsed by the Basel Committee.
    • RBI introduced in  February 2015 under Basel III.
  • Purpose: The CCyB is a regulatory tool that aims to ensure that banks build up extra capital during periods of economic stability and growth, which can be used to maintain credit flow during economic downturns.
  • Objective
    • It requires banks to accumulate a buffer of capital during good times to sustain lending in difficult economic periods.
    • It seeks to achieve the macroprudential goal of curbing excessive lending and system-wide risk during periods of excess credit growth.
  • Activation Framework: The credit-to-GDP gap is the primary indicator for activating the CCyB.
    • Other supplementary indicators may also be consider
