The European Banking Authority (EBA) published today its final Guidelines on disclosure of encumbered and unencumbered assets. They are the first step towards a harmonised disclosure framework of asset encumbrance in the EU and have been drafted in accordance with Recommendation D of the European Systemic Risk Board (ESRB).
The EBA launches today a consultation on three Guidelines related to the information that institutions in the EU banking sector should disclose under Part Eight of the Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 (Capital Requirements Regulation - CRR). These Guidelines have been merged into one single document and cover how institutions should apply materiality, proprietary and confidentiality in relation to the disclosure requirements, as well as how they should assess the frequency of their disclosures. This work will enhance consistency in disclosure practices across the EU and are part of the work of the EBA aimed at ensuring transparency in the EU banking sector. The consultation runs until 13 September 2014.

The European Banking Authority (EBA) published today a follow-up review aimed at assessing the disclosures made by 19 European institutions in response to the Basel Pillar 3 requirements, as set out in the EU Capital Requirements Directive (CRD). Overall, despite improvements in some specific areas, credit institutions’ compliance with disclosure requirements remains unchanged compared to last year’s assessment where no bank had fully met all the requirements. The report also highlighted that comparability and consistency of disclosures between the different institutions could be improved.

The European Banking Authority (EBA) launched today a consultation on draft Implementing Technical Standards (ITS) on disclosure for leverage ratio. These standards will be part of the EU Single Rulebook in the banking sector and aim at harmonising disclosure of the leverage ratio across the EU by providing institutions with uniform templates and instructions. The consultation runs until 24 January 2014.

These draft ITS complement the first set of standards on own funds published last April and focus on the disclosure requirements to be met by institutions. Establishing appropriate disclosure requirements increases the transparency on regulatory capital held by European institutions and ultimately contributes to strengthening its quality and quantity. The consultation runs until 31 July 2012.
