what happened

The European Central Bank has set Société Générale's P2R add-on at 2.37% (1.39% in CET1) from January 1, 2027. The minimum CET1 ratio will be 10.41%, Tier 1 12.33%, and total capital 14.89%. The minimum leverage ratio is set at 3.6%.

According to the bank, its CET1 ratio stood at 13.2% and its leverage ratio at 4.3% on June 30, 2026, both above the requirements. The information was distributed by GlobeNewswire.

why it matters

The bank's capital headroom above the minimums looks comfortable, which lowers the risk of constraints on dividends and buybacks. Changes to buffers or capital return plans could alter this picture.
