CZECHIA

Highlights from the press release following the CNB Board meeting on financial stability and macroprudential measures:

  • The CNB Bank Board discussed the risks related to mortgage lending and decided to leave the upper limit on the LTV ratio at 80% (90% for applicants under 36 years) and keep the upper DSTI and DTI limits deactivated.
  • Stress tests have indicated that the Czech financial sector remains resilient to adverse economic developments, thanks partly to the capital buffers applied.
