CEBS is publishing today the findings of an analysis it has carried out with regard to prudential filters. In December 2004 CEBS issued its guidelines on the use of prudential filters for regulatory capital. The objective of these prudential filters is to maintain the definition and quality of regulatory capital for institutions using IFRS for prudential reporting. The analytical report issued today aims to assess CEBS' members compliance with these guidelines and to present their impact in quantitative terms on regulatory own funds. It also provides a basis for discussion on the possible scope for further convergence of these filters. CEBS will present and discuss the report and its conclusions at a public hearing scheduled for 16 October.

CEBS reiterates its commitment to using all tools at its disposal, including mediation, to achieve further convergence and reduce the supervisory burden of cross-border banking groups.
