The European Banking Authority (EBA) published today the draft methodology, templates, and template guidance for the 2027 EU-wide stress test. The 2027 exercise introduces significant simplifications to improve efficiency and risk sensitivity, while preserving the robustness and comparability of results. Key changes include a substantial reduction in data requirements, the alignment of information with harmonised supervisory reporting, and the integration of climate risks into the EU-wide stress test. A total of 63 banks from the EU and Norway, including 47 from the euro area, will participate, covering 75% of the EU banking sector. The industry consultation is being launched at an earlier stage than for previous EBA stress tests, to facilitate banks’ preparedness.

​The European Banking Authority (EBA) today published a Discussion Paper which proposes a simplified process for small and non-complex institutions (SNCIs) when implementing the Pillar 3 Data Hub (P3DH). The objective is to gather stakeholder feedback on a streamlined approach under which the EBA would collect and perform the calculation and publication of Pillar 3 disclosures for SNCIs, thereby reducing the burden for the latter.
