2143 charsDenmark's Financial Supervisory Authority Issues Guidance on Real Estate Risk Weighting Reporting
On July 2, 2026, Denmark's Financial Supervisory Authority (FSA) published guidance addressing reporting errors by credit institutions in calculating risk weights for real estate exposures under new Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR3) rules that took effect in January 2025.
The FSA's review identified that multiple institutions had incorrectly reported risk weights for real estate exposures under the standardised approach for credit risk. The new CRR3 framework introduced two additional exposure classes: Income Producing Real Estate (IPRE) and Acquisition, Development and Construction (ADC) exposures. The FSA found that institutions primarily struggled with correctly classifying these new exposure categories. Root causes included insufficient system solutions from data service providers, inadequate manual corrections to system-generated calculations, insufficient business processes and controls, and incomplete knowledge of the new definitions, particularly regarding ADC exposures. While the FSA's review did not result in supervisory actions, the errors in some cases led to underestimation of risk-weighted exposures, though without material impact on institutions' capital coverage.
The FSA identified several remedial measures that institutions have implemented to ensure accurate reporting. These include developing formal business procedures for registering, monitoring and controlling ADC and IPRE exposures; updating system solutions in coordination with data service providers; centralising ADC classification within credit departments with manual assessment during the approval process; implementing continuous monitoring and staff training on correct registration; and adopting conservative classification approaches where uncertainty exists. The FSA emphasised that accurate calculation and reporting of risk-weighted real estate exposures is critical, as errors risk incorrect decision-making and underestimation of capital requirements. The FSA expects the European Banking Authority (EBA) to provide further clarification on ADC exposure definitions through guidance to ensure clear classification boundaries.
