Macroprudential measures – Lithuania

The Lithuanian measure, applied in accordance with Article 133 of Directive 2013/36/EU imposes a 2 % systemic risk buffer rate for all retail exposures to natural persons in Lithuania that are secured by residential property.

The Czech National Bank does not reciprocate this measure, as the exposure of domestic banks to mortgage loans for purchase of residential property located in Lithuania is virtually zero. However, the Czech National Bank will continuously assess the volume of mortgage loans for purchase of residential property located in Lithuania granted by domestic banks and stands ready to amend its decision if necessary.
