Opinion on the use and benefits from Central Banks' funding support measures
The EBA publishes today an Opinion on the macroprudential tools laid down in the Capital Requirement Regulation (CRR) and Directive (CRDIV). The Opinion assesses whether the current rules are effective, efficient and transparent as well as the possible degrees of overlap across different macroprudential tools and the consistency of the EU framework with global standards. The Opinion also includes policy recommendations that the EU Commission should consider in its review of the macroprudential toolkit.
EBA opinion on macroprudential rules in CRR-CRD
The European Banking Authority (EBA) published today an Opinion following the notification by the National Bank of Belgium (NBB) of its intention to modify capital requirements in order to address an increase in macroprudential or systemic risk that could have a severe impact on the financial system and the Belgian real economy. Based on the evidence submitted by the NBB, the EBA does not object the adoption of the proposed measures, which are in line with Article 458 of the Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR).
