The European Banking Authority (EBA) today issued a call for expression of interest to join two Technical Expert Groups - on crypto assets service providers and anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism (TEG-CASPs/AML) and on restrictive measures regimes (TEG-RMRs) – and a call for input on the “joint Guidelines to prevent the abuse of fund transfers for ML/TF purposes” issued in 2017 by the European Supervisory Authorities. These will provide technical advice to the EBA on those aspects of the revised Regulation on information accompanying transfers of funds (TFR) that relate to the EBA’s mandates.

The European Banking Authority (EBA) published today a final set of Guidelines and two final draft Regulatory Technical Standards (RTS) specifying technical aspects of the revised framework capturing interest rate risks for banking book (IRRBB) positions. These regulatory products complete the onboarding into EU law of the Basel standards on IRRBB and are of crucial importance given the current interest rate environment. The EBA will also closely monitor their implementation and more generally the impact of the evolving interest rates on the management of IRRBB by EU institutions and on other related prudential aspects.
