EBA consults on draft technical standards related to liquidity requirements
The European Banking Authority (EBA) launched today three consultations on draft technical standards (ITS and RTS) related to liquidity requirements. In particular, the EBA will be consulting on 1) draft ITS on currencies for which the justified demand for liquid assets exceeds their availability; 2) draft RTS on derogations for eligible currencies; and 3) draft ITS listing the currencies with an extremely narrow definition of central bank eligibility. All three consultations will run until 22 December 2013.
