EBA publishes its final guidelines on the criteria for the exemption of investment firms from liquidity requirements in accordance with Investment Firms Regulation
The European Banking Authority (EBA) published today its final guidelines on the criteria for the exemption of small and non-interconnected investment firms from the liquidity requirements in accordance with the Investment Firms Regulation (IFR). These Guidelines ensure that all competent authorities granting this exemption follow the same harmonised approach, while preserving the IFR general objective of maintaining the prudential requirements proportional to the size and complexity of the smaller investment firms.
