The European Banking Authority (EBA) launched today a consultation on its Guidelines for credit institutions on how to effectively manage non-performing exposures (NPEs) and forborne exposures (FBEs). The Guidelines target high NPE banks with the aim of achieving a sustainable reduction of NPEs to strengthen the resilience of their balance sheets and support lending into the real economy. The Guidelines are designed to ensure that consumers, who have taken out loans, are treated fairly at every stage of the loan life cycle. The consultation runs until 8 June 2018.

The European Banking Authority (EBA) published today its thirteenth Report of the CRDIV-CRR/Basel III monitoring exercise on the European banking system. This exercise presents aggregate data on EU banks' capital, leverage, and liquidity ratios assuming full implementation of the CRD IV-CRR/Basel III framework. Overall, the results, based on data as of 30 June 2017, show a further improvement of European banks' capital positions, with a total average Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio of 13.8% (13.4% as of 31 December 2016). This exercise does not reflect any BCBS standards agreed since the beginning of 2016 or any other measures currently being considered by the BCBS.

The European Banking Authority (EBA) launched today a new web page including the tools to access its data point model (DPM), which compiles the harmonised data requirements included in its technical standards and guidelines. The role of this data dictionary is to enable the harmonisation of the banking regulatory framework by providing a clear interpretation of data exchange requirements to all relevant stakeholders. Regulators, supervisors, financial institutions, service providers, other organisations, and the general public, can use the DPM as a common repository of clear and structured specifications of the data referred to in the banking Regulation.

The European Banking Authority (EBA) published today its first Report on financial education, covering the years 2017/18. The Report is based on a repository of more than 80 financial education initiatives carried out by the national authorities supervising banking products and services across the 28 EU Member States. The Report provides an opportunity for national authorities to share and compare experiences, and for other organisations and individuals interested in financial education to learn about, and possibly build on, the work carried out so far in this area and the lessons learned.
