EBA publishes final technical standards on estimation of Pillar 2 and combined buffer requirements for setting MREL
The European Banking Authority (EBA) published today its final draft Regulatory Technical Standards (RTS) specifying the methodology to be used by resolution authorities to estimate the Pillar 2 (P2R) and combined buffer requirements (CBR) at resolution group level for the purpose of setting the minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities requirement (MREL). These standards are part of the EBA's major programme of work to implement the BRRD and address the problem of too-big-to-fail banks.
