EBA opinion on European Commission’s proposed amendments to Regulatory Technical Standards (RTS) for authorising asset-referenced token (ART) issuers under MiCAR, accepting changes while recommending supervisory enhancements like market abuse policies and third-party DLT audits.
The European Banking Authority (EBA) today issued an Opinion in response to the European Commission’s proposed changes to its draft Regulatory Technical Standards (RTS) on the information to be provided to competent authorities when authorising the offer to the public of asset-referenced tokens or the admission to trade them under the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCAR).
The European Banking Authority (EBA) today launched a consultation to amend the Implementing Regulation on the benchmarking of credit risk, market risk and IFRS9 models for the 2026 exercise. The most significant changes, in the market risk framework, are the new templates for the collection of the alternative internal model approach (AIMA) risk measures under the fundamental review of the trading book (FRTB) and the extension of the scope of the exercise to banks that apply solely the Alternative Standardised Approach (ASA) methodology. For the credit risk framework only minor changes are being proposed. This consultation runs until 26 May 2025.

European Banking Authority (EBA) report assessing data availability and feasibility of a common methodology for measuring ESG exposures across non-financial corporates, SMEs, and households, including environmental, social, and governance risks and supervisory stress testing.
The European Banking Authority (EBA) today published a Report assessing the availability and accessibility of data related to environmental, social and governance (ESG) risks as well as the feasibility of introducing a standardised methodology for identifying and qualifying credit exposures to such risks. The Report finds that while there have been significant improvements over the recent years on availability and accessibility of data, the ESG data landscape remains incomplete at this stage. Key policy initiatives such as the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the supporting European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), as well as further transparency in the methodologies of ESG scores and External Credit Assessment Institutions’ (ECAI) credit risk ratings, are expected to further improve this landscape and mitigate challenges.
