Commerzbank has announced that the European Central Bank's Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process (SREP) capital requirements will remain unchanged for 2025. The bank's Pillar 2 capital requirement (P2R) remains at 2.25%, with an additional leverage ratio requirement of 0.1%.

As of September 2024, Commerzbank's Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio stood at 14.82%, surpassing the Maximum Distributable Amount (MDA) threshold of 10.31%. CEO Bettina Orlopp expressed confidence in maintaining a solid capital buffer, ensuring continued shareholder capital returns.

The MDA threshold includes a CET1 minimum of 4.5% and various capital buffers, totaling 10.31% of risk-weighted assets. Commerzbank's leverage ratio requirement of 3.1% is comfortably met by an actual leverage ratio of 4.4%.
