The European Banking Authority (EBA) today published an Opinion addressed to the Central Bank of Hungary following the Competent Authority's notification of its decision to introduce a partial waiver of the provision under the Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR) in relation to the eligibility conditions for covered bonds to benefit from a risk weight preferential treatment. Given the significant potential concentration problem in Hungary, the EBA is of the opinion that the application of a partial waiver is adequately justified.

The Consultation paper follows the recommendations from the EBA Advisory Committee on Proportionality for 2024 in the credit risk area The consultation runs until 12 February 2025.
