Abstract: 
Der antizyklische Eigenkapitalpuffer, dessen Anforderung Kreditinstitute erfüllen müssen, soll die Widerstandskraft des Bankensystems stärken und dadurch die Kreditversorgung verstetigen. Damit sollen starke Auswirkungen des Finanzzyklus und entsprechende Krisen abgeschwächt werden. Dieses Instrument wurde 2016 eingeführt, sodass jetzt erste Erfahrungen vorliegen. Diese werden derzeit z. B. im makroprudenziellen Review der Europäischen Kommission bewertet.
Abstract (Translated): 
The countercyclical capital buffer (CCyB) requires banks to hold certain equity capital depending on the state of the financial cycle. The role of this buffer is to stabilise the credit supply during the ups and downs of the financial cycle. Since its introduction in 2016, a discussion on reform options includes suggestions such as : (1) the buffer range should be increased to better counteract the financial cycle, (2) part of the buffer could be decided at the European level, (3) the buffer should lie at the midpoint of its range in normal times, and (4) the buffer requirement should be based on another rule-based component reflecting asset prices.
