DISCLOSURE OF REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS EFFECTIVE FROM 1st JANUARY 2025
Press release
Paris, 11 December 2024
The European Central Bank notified Societe Generale of the level of its Pillar 2 Requirement (P2R), which will apply from 1st January 2025. It stands at 2.40%, including 1.42% in the form of CET1. This level includes the additional requirement of 0.15% (vs. 0.17% previously) regarding Pillar 2 prudential expectations on calendar provisioning relating to non-performing loans granted before 26th April 2019.
Considering the combined regulatory buffers, the minimum requirements from 1st January 2025 applicable to Societe Generale on a consolidated basis will remain stable at 10.22% for the CET1 ratio (including 0.80% on Countercyclical buffers compared to 0.79% at the end of September 2024), 12.14% for the Tier 1 ratio and 14.71% for the Total Capital ratio.
The European Central Bank also notified Societe Generale of a Leverage Ratio P2R (LR-P2R) requirement, which remains unchanged at a level of 0.1%. Consequently, the minimum leverage ratio requirement remains at 3.6%.
With a CET1 ratio at 13.2%1 as of 30th September 2024, the Group benefits from a comfortable pro-forma buffer of around 300 basis points above regulatory requirements. Similarly, the Group's leverage ratio stood at 4.25% as of 30th September 2024, well above the requirement of 3.6%.
