Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria ( (ES:BBVA) ) just unveiled an update.
BBVA has received an updated determination from the Bank of Spain, reflecting Single Resolution Board criteria as of December 31, 2024, for its Minimum Requirement for own funds and Eligible Liabilities (MREL) at sub-consolidated level. The bank must maintain own funds and eligible liabilities equal to at least 23.94% of risk-weighted assets, with 13.50% in subordinated instruments, and 8.96% of total exposure for leverage ratio purposes, including a 5.56% subordinated component.
These new MREL and subordination thresholds supersede the prior framework and sit on top of a combined capital buffer requirement of 3.72% of risk-weighted assets, shaping BBVA’s loss-absorbing capacity expectations. BBVA reports that its current capital and eligible liability structure already complies with all updated MREL and subordination requirements, indicating no immediate need for balance sheet adjustment and supporting regulatory confidence in its resolvability and capital strength.
