The EBA consults on the new framework for the business indicator for operational risk as part of the implementation of the EU Banking Package
The European Banking Authority (EBA) today launched a consultation on two set of draft Regulatory Technical Standards (RTS) and one Implementing Technical Standard aiming to clarify the composition of the new business indicator at the heart of the operational risk capital requirements calculation, mapping the business indicator items to financial reporting (FINREP) items and highlighting possible adjustments to the business indicator in case of specific operations. The consultation runs until 21 May 2024.

Opinion on a decision to grant the permission referred to in Article 129(1a)(c) of the CRR – notification from Bank of Italy
The EBA finds Italian waiver for covered bonds justified
The European Banking Authority (EBA) today published an Opinion addressed to the Bank of Italy following the Competent Authority's notification of its decision to introduce a partial waiver of Article 129 (1)(c) of the Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR), which specifies the conditions for the eligibility of covered bonds in relation to risk weight preferential treatments. Given the significant potential concentration problem in Italy, the EBA is of the opinion that the application of a partial waiver is adequately justified.
The EBA publishes roadmap on the implementation of the EU Banking Package
The European Banking Authority (EBA) today published its roadmap on the Banking Package, which implements the final Basel III reforms in the EU. The EBA roadmap aims at strengthening the prudential framework as well as ensuring an international level playing field. It also aims at providing clarity to the industry on how it will develop the mandates implementing the legislation, and how it expects to finalise the most significant components ahead of the application date, on 1 January 2025.
EBA publishes annual assessment of banks’ internal approaches for the calculation of capital requirements
The European Banking Authority (EBA) published today its Reports on the annual market and credit risk benchmarking exercises conducted in 2022. These exercises aim at monitoring the consistency of risk weighted assets (RWAs) across all EU institutions authorised to use internal approaches for the calculation of capital requirements. Regarding market risk, for the majority of participating banks, the results confirm a relatively low dispersion in the initial market valuation (IMVs) of most of the instruments, and a decrease in the dispersion in the value at risk (VaR) submissions compared to the previous exercise. For credit risk, the variability of RWAs remained rather stable, despite the pandemic and the different banks’ pace in complying with the policies set out in the EBA internal rating-based (IRB) roadmap. A particular focus has been put on analysing the impact of the pandemic and the compensating public measures on the IRB models.

EBA standardises information requirements to support sales and transfers of non-performing loans
The European Banking Authority (EBA) today published its final draft Implementing Technical Standards (ITS) specifying the requirements for the information that credit institutions selling NPL shall provide to prospective buyers. The objective of the draft ITS is to provide a common data standard for the NPL sales or transfers across the EU enabling cross-country comparison and thus reducing information asymmetries between the sellers and buyers of NPL, thus improving the functioning of NPL secondary markets.

EBA publishes its closure report of Covid-19 measures and repeals its Guidelines on Covid-19 reporting and disclosure
The European Banking Authority (EBA) today published its closure report of Covid-19 measures, which provides an overview of the wide range of policy measures taken on the back of the pandemic, their state of play and the path out of policy support. Although the EU banking system proved overall resilient, the ample support provided does not give room to complacency, and the framework is to be further strengthened with a loyal and prompt implementation of Basel III. The publication is accompanied by an update to the list of Public Guarantee Schemes and general payment moratoria schemes issued in response to the pandemic. Finally, the EBA Guidelines on Covid-19 reporting and disclosure have been repealed in response to the decreasing relevance of the related public support measures, and the overall EBA proportionate approach to reporting.

EBA publishes assessment on the application of the supporting factor to infrastructure lending
The European Banking Authority (EBA) today published a Report, which analyses some qualitative as well as quantitative aspects of the lending trends and riskiness of infrastructure loans which have benefitted from a capital reduction due to the introduction of the so-called infrastructure supporting factor (ISF) under the Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR). While data on infrastructure lending is scarce overall, the EBA analysis relied on information received from a sample of banks that participated in a survey launched in April 2022. The data collected is not sufficient to conclude on the impact of ISF on lending or the consistency of the riskiness of the affected loans with the own funds requirements. At the same time, from a broader prudential perspective, and in line with previous EBA recommendations, the continued application of the ISF could be questioned.
