EBA E-mail alert 5 August, 2026

​The European Banking Authority (EBA) is consulting on a new reporting framework to support the validation and ongoing monitoring of initial margin models based on the ‘Standard Initial Margin Model’ (SIMM) developed by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA). The proposed reporting requirements will provide the EBA with information necessary to effectively perform its role as central validator of pro forma models under EMIR, while ensuring a proportionate approach for reporting entities. The consultation runs until 2 November 2026.
