EBA to hold a public hearing on forthcoming liquidity reports

The European Banking Authority (EBA) will hold a public hearing in London on 23 October 2013 on the draft reports to be submitted to the EU Commission relating to the economic impact assessment of quantitative liquidity regulation and the definition of liquid assets under Article 509 of the Capital Requirements Regulation.

The objective of the hearing is to gather views from stakeholders on the methodology used as well as on the draft conclusions drawn in the two reports that will be presented during the public meeting. Views would be particularly welcome in terms of performance of different asset categories against various liquidity metrics, with the aim of heading towards a common definition of high quality liquid assets. The EBA is also interested in views on its draft proposals for Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) calibration and its impact on institutions, business models and the provision of credit to the real economy.
