The amended Commission's Implementing Regulation on benchmarking of internal models aims at adjusting the benchmarking portfolios and reporting requirements in view of the 2020 EBA benchmarking exercise. The changes aim at simplifying the portfolio's structure for the credit risk part of the exercise, and getting more insight into the model used for pricing for the market risk part of the exercise.
The European Banking Authority (EBA) published today an update to its Implementing Technical Standards (ITS) on benchmarking of internal approaches. The ITS include all benchmarking portfolios that will be used for the 2020 benchmarking exercise.
Today's update includes changes and clarifications, which reflect the comments received during the consultation launched on 18 December 2018. In particular, a number of changes reduce the reporting requirements, thus ensuring a more proportionate reporting burden, which will also increase stability going forward.
For the market risk benchmarking, the instruments have been updated and clarified but the overall composition of the portfolio has not been changed with respect the 2019.
For the credit risk portfolios, the revision of the benchmarking portfolios simplifies the exercise thanks to a reduction in the number of portfolios to be reported and a closer alignment to the Common Reporting (COREP) structure, with a view to achieving stable portfolio definitions for the future.
The European Banking Authority (EBA) launched today a consultation to amend the Commission's Implementing Regulation on benchmarking of internal models to adjust the benchmarking portfolios and reporting requirements in view of the benchmarking exercise it will carry out in 2020. The proposed changes aim at simplifying the portfolio's structure for the credit risk part of the exercise, and getting more insights into the model used for pricing for the market risk part of the exercise. The consultation will run until 31st January 2019.
Based on the feedback received from the recent interactions with institutions, the EBA's proposals included in this Consultation Paper aim at facilitating the reporting for the credit risk portfolios. The simplification of the structure of the data collection as well as the reduction of the number of portfolios is expected to enhance the data quality. Furthermore, the objective is to keep the structure of the portfolios stable for the 2021 exercise.
The main changes in the definitions of the credit risk portfolios are (1) a reduction in the number of portfolios to be submitted, (2) a simplification and alignment in the structure of the portfolios to be submitted and (3) a number of technical refinements, such as the inclusion of covered bonds, an update of the Indexed loan-to-value range (ILTV), Statistical Classification of Economic Activities of the EU (NACE) and Credit Risk Mitigation (CRM) splits, and the introduction of a sub sample of large corporates with revenue below or above 500m€.
The EBA is also proposing minor consistency updates as well as a data collection of the sensitivities aiming at further improving the data quality.

A public hearing will take place at the EBA premises on 25 January 2019 from 14:00 to 15:30 UK time.
Article 78 of the Capital Requirements Directive (CRD) requires competent authorities to conduct an annual assessment of the quality of internal approaches used for the calculation of own funds requirements. To assist competent authorities in this assessment, the EBA calculates and distributes benchmark values against which individual institutions' risk parameters can be compared. These benchmark values are based on data submitted by institutions as laid out in the Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR), which specifies the benchmarking portfolios, templates and definitions to be used as part of the annual benchmarking exercises.
