EBA consults on draft guidelines for financial institutions to establish internal policies, procedures, and controls ensuring compliance with EU and national restrictive measures, covering governance, risk assessment, screening, due diligence, and reporting requirements by March 2024.

EBA final report amending guidelines on disclosure of global systemically important institutions (G-SIIs) indicators, aligning with Basel Committee updates, clarifying SRM cross-jurisdictional data reporting, and applying from May 2024.
The European Banking Authority (EBA) today published its updated Guidelines on the specification and disclosure of systemic importance indicators, which are applied by the largest institutions in the EU whose leverage ratio exposure measure exceeds EUR 200 bn. Acting as a central data hub in the disclosure process, the EBA updates data on G-SIIs on a yearly basis and provides user-friendly tools to aggregate it across the EU.
The European Banking Authority (EBA) today published today its final draft Implementing Technical Standards (ITS) on amendments to disclosure and reporting of the minimum requirement for MREL and TLAC. These amendments reflect the new requirement to deduct investments in eligible liabilities instruments of entities belonging to the same resolution group, the so called ‘daisy chain’ framework, and other changes to the prudential framework. The amendments will apply for the reference date of June 2024.
EBA final draft implementing technical standards amending disclosure and reporting rules on MREL and TLAC, focusing on daisy chain investments, prior permissions for liability buybacks, and minor CRR adjustments, set to apply from June 2024.
The European Banking Authority (EBA) today published its Report on liquidity measures, which monitors and evaluates the liquidity coverage requirements currently in place in the EU. Between June 2022 and June 2023, the EU banks’ liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) declined but remained comfortably above the minimum requirement. However, within this review period there were important fluctuations in the components of the ratio, driven mostly by changes in the banks’ allocation of funding deposits and the ongoing reduction of central bank liquidity. Unlike the LCR in domestic currency, EU banks’ LCR in foreign currencies remained below 100%.
EBA report analyzing liquidity measures under Article 509(1) of the CRR, assessing LCR trends, impacts of TLTRO repayments, minimum reserve requirements, and interactions with monetary policy on Euro area banks' liquidity buffers and lending.
