EBA consults on draft technical standards on the mapping of ECAIs credit assessments for securitisation positions
The European Banking Authority (EBA) launched today a consultation on draft Implementing Technical Standards (ITS) on the mapping of External Credit Assessment Institutions’ (ECAIs) credit assessments for securitisation positions. These ITS will be part of the Single Rulebook in banking aimed at enhancing regulatory harmonisation across the European Union (EU) and will allow the credit ratings of all registered credit rating agencies to be used for the purposes of calculating institutions’ capital requirements. The consultation will run until 7 August 2015.
