- Raiffeisen-Holding Passes ECB Asset Review, No Capital Shortfall Found
FRANKFURT, Germany – Raiffeisen-Holding Niederösterreich-Wien has passed a comprehensive asset quality review by the European Central Bank, with regulators finding no capital shortfall, the ECB announced Friday.
The review confirms the Austrian bank’s financial soundness under the ECB’s direct supervision.
The asset quality review (AQR) was initiated after the ECB classified the lender as a “significant” institution because its total assets exceeded the €30 billion threshold. This designation brought the bank under direct European supervision in January 2025.
Supervisors conducted the review to assess the bank’s asset valuations, focusing on credit risk within its corporate and retail portfolios.
The results, published on December 5, 2025, showed that the bank’s Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio, a key measure of financial health, remained above the required 8% minimum threshold.
The purpose of an AQR is to increase transparency and ensure adequate capital levels. The findings will be incorporated into the ECB’s broader Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process (SREP), which assesses the bank’s overall risk profile. Raiffeisen-Holding consented to the publication of the results.
