The European Banking Authority (EBA) published today draft implementing technical standards (ITS) amending the ITS on provision of information for the purpose of resolution plans (Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/1624). The amendments are minimal and aim at re-aligning the standards with the provisions of the Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive (BRRD), following the changes to the minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL) introduced in the revised BRRD2, as well as to remove some identified obstacles, at the technical level, that hamper compliance with the requirements specified in these ITS. The amended ITS are envisaged to apply for the first time with the reference date of 31 December 2021.

The European Banking Authority (EBA) launched today a public consultation on its draft Guidelines on the delineation and reporting of available financial means (AFM) of Deposit Guarantee Schemes (DGSs). The purpose of the Guidelines is to ensure that only funds that credit institutions contributed, or that stem indirectly from such contributions such as recoveries or investment income, will count towards reaching the target level of the DGS fund. Conversely, funds that stem directly or indirectly from borrowed resources should not count towards the target level. This clarification aims at preventing the situation where a DGS could meet the target level by taking out a loan.
