KBC Group Transfers €1.25 Billion in Credit Risk and Strengthens Solvency Ratio
KBC Group announced on Friday the completion of a second significant risk transfer operation involving a portfolio of €1.25 billion in corporate loans. This transaction is part of the group's strategy to reduce risk-weighted assets and strengthen its solvency ratio.
Corporate Credit Portfolio Transferred to Institutional Investors
The transaction is based on the placement of credit-linked notes with institutional investors, covering the first-loss exposure on a portfolio of €1.25 billion from KBC Bank's corporate banking department. This financing structure transfers a portion of the credit risk off the group's balance sheet while maintaining operational management of the portfolio.

The operation generates a reduction in risk-weighted assets of approximately €0.7 billion, which enhances KBC Group's 'fully loaded' core capital ratio by about 8 basis points in the second quarter of 2026. This reduction in risk-weighted assets helps optimize the group's capital structure and supports its future growth capacity.
