Pillar 2 requirement
The Pillar 2 requirement (P2R) is a bank-specific capital requirement which applies in addition to the minimum capital requirement (known as Pillar 1) where this underestimates or does not cover certain risks. A bank’s P2R is determined as part of the Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process (SREP). That requirement is legally binding, and if institutions fail to comply, they may be subject to supervisory measures (including sanctions). The P2R does not encompass the risk of excessive leverage; this is covered by the leverage ratio Pillar 2 requirement (P2R-LR).
In addition to complying with the P2R, institutions are also expected to follow the Pillar 2 guidance (P2G) issued by the ECB. A bank’s P2G indicates the level of capital that it should maintain to withstand financial stress. Unlike the P2R, the P2G is not legally binding, as it only reflects supervisory expectations.
Under Articles 431(1), 433a(1) and 438(b) of the Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR), large institutions (as defined in Article 4(1)(146) of the CRR) are required to disclose their P2Rs on an annual basis.
To find out more about how supervisors set the P2R for banks, check out our dedicated web page on the methodology they use.
In addition, the ECB is continuing its recent practice of publishing the consolidated P2Rs of all the significant institutions it supervises after obtaining their consent to publication. The table below shows the significant institutions that were supervised by the ECB and their P2Rs for 2020, 2021 and 2022. All significant institutions that received a SREP decision in 2022 have been asked to consent to the publication of their P2Rs and P2R-LRs for future cycles as well. Banks can withdraw their consent at any time.
In cases where a bank did not receive a P2R decision in 2022, the currently applicable P2R determined in a previous decision is included. This is indicated in the table by an asterisk (*).

- The institution has not received yet a capital decision.
- This institution is a branch and receives no capital decision.
- The institution has become a subsidiary of HSBC Continental Europe as of 1 February 2023.
- In line with the principles of the ECB Guide on the supervisory approach to consolidation in the banking sector, HSBC Continental Europe was excluded from the regular timeline of the 2022 SREP Exercise since it was embarked in a consolidation operation. Once a new capital decision is adopted in respect of HSBC Continental Europe, the applicable P2R will be published. Until then, HSBC Continental Europe remains subject to the own funds requirements set out in the previous SREP decision.
- The consolidated prudential perimeter, subject to the P2R decision imposed to, has ceased to exist. As a result, no P2R is applicable for the institution.
