This Report assesses the potential impact on LCR and NSFR levels of the upcoming central bank funding repayment (mainly repayments of the targeted longer-term refinancing operations - TLTRO) as well as of a potential scenario of higher liquidity risk, particularly affecting government bonds, derivatives and repo markets, in the context of a higher interest rate environment, inflation and recession risks.

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).

The European Banking Authority (EBA) published today its final Report on amendments to its Implementing Technical Standards (ITS) on currencies with constraints on the availability of liquid assets in the context of the liquidity coverage ratio (LCR). The proposed amendments remove the Norwegian Krone (NOK) from the list. As a result, no currency will be recognised as having constraints on the availability of liquid assets.
