Welcome to the EBA

​The European Banking Authority (EBA) published today a Consultation Paper with a draft methodology for setting fines in its role as supervisor under MiCA. The objective is to ensure that fines imposed on issuers of significant crypto-assets are consistent, proportionate and transparent, and effectively support compliance with the regulatory framework.

The European Banking Authority (EBA) today published an updated list of validation rules defined in its reporting frameworks, as part of its regular quarterly review process. The revised package identifies rules that have (i) been deactivated due to inaccuracies or IT-related issues, (ii) been reactivated, or (iii) undergone a change in severity status.

​The European Banking Authority (EBA) today published its final revised Guidelines on common procedures and methodologies for the supervisory review and evaluation process (SREP) and supervisory stress testing, marking another key milestone in its efforts to enhance the efficiency, coherence and effectiveness of EU banking supervision. The revised Guidelines are a core deliverable of the EBA’s efficiency and simplification agenda. They build on the EBA Report on the efficiency of the regulatory and supervisory framework (October 2025) and follow the Report on simplifying the stacking orders of the EU prudential and resolution framework. The revised SREP Guidelines pave the way for a more risk-focused, efficient, proportionate and forward-looking framework for supervisors across the EU.

The European Banking Authority (EBA) today published its latest semi-annual dashboard on the minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL), providing an update on the state of resolution planning and on the resources that banks are using to meet their requirements. As of December 2025, bail-in remains the preferred resolution strategy in terms of risk-weighed assets (RWAs), while rollover needs reach EUR 231 billion for instruments set to become ineligible over the next 12 months.

The European Banking Authority (EBA) has published today its final draft Implementing Technical Standards (ITS) amending the Pillar 3 disclosure framework on environmental, social and governance (ESG) risks, and introducing disclosure requirements on equity and shadow banking exposures. The package finalises the implementation of the disclosure requirements introduced by the Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR 3). Developed in line with the EU’s simplification agenda and the Omnibus package, the ITS streamline existing requirements, and enhance usability and consistency. The ITS are aligned with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) and with the EBA draft ITS on ESG reporting requirements, which are currently under consultation. They should, therefore, be read in conjunction with this Consultation paper to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the overall ESG framework and to support informed feedback.
