It finds that in Belgium’s universal banking system, broad releasable buffers can address cyclical systemic risk as effectively as sectoral tools, which should be used sparingly and only for clearly contained sector-specific risk build-ups. The article notes that the National Bank of Belgium has integrated the specific buffer for mortgage loans into the broader countercyclical capital buffer.
