Deutsche Bank (ISIN DE0005140008) will face a lower Pillar 2 capital requirement from January 1, 2027, while its stock trades 2.56 percent above the previous Xetra close. The bank said the European Central Bank set the solvency requirement at 2.60 percent in its October 27, 2026 release, 25 basis points below the 2026 level, according to Deutsche Bank.

Lower requirement takes effect in 2027

The decision follows the 2026 Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process. Deutsche Bank said its Pillar 2 requirement for the leverage ratio will remain at 10 basis points, so the change affects the solvency requirement rather than every capital threshold.

The lower requirement can give the bank more room above the level that would trigger a Maximum Distributable Amount calculation. That framework can restrict dividends, variable remuneration and coupons on Additional Tier 1 instruments when capital falls below the applicable thresholds.

What does the change mean?

The key comparison is the 25-basis-point reduction from the 2026 requirement to 2.60 percent for 2027. The bank said its last reported consolidated capital ratios, dated June 30, 2026, were above both the requirements then prevailing and those scheduled for 2027.
