The European Banking Authority (EBA) launched today a consultation on draft Regulatory Technical Standards (RTS) to specify the conditions and the criteria to assess whether the credit valuation adjustment (CVA) risk exposures arising from fair-valued securities financing transactions are material, as well as the frequency of that assessment. The concept of materiality set out in the draft RTS will determine whether fair-valued securities financing transactions can be exempted from own funds requirements for CVA risk. The consultation runs until 8 October 2024.

The European Banking Authority (EBA) today published the European Supervisory Examination Programme (ESEP) for 2025, which identifies key topics for heightened supervisory attention across the European Union. The ESEP is aimed at driving supervisory convergence by providing competent authorities with a single set of priorities for implementation in 2025.

The European Banking Authority (EBA) today published its annual Report on convergence of supervisory practices for 2023. The EBA confirms that the key topics identified for supervisory attention in 2023 were adequately included by most competent authorities, but there is still disparity in the implementation of risk areas like ESG and data aggregation capabilities in the supervisory processes. Regarding the convergence of supervisory practices in the context of Pillar 2 and liquidity measures, the analysis shows that there is still room for further consistency in the identification and treatment of risks covered by Pillar 2 requirements across the EU. Lastly, the EBA’s monitoring of supervisory colleges has confirmed that the annual college cycle is functioning well.
