Supervisory benchmarking frameworks

This page provides an overview of the requirements for the data submission to the annual benchmarking exercise. These requirements are set out in the Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/2070 of 14 September 2016 (ITS on supervisory benchmarking) which has been amended annually since then. 

The first column of the below table indicates the version of the ITS that is relevant to the exercise of a specific year. For example, the (I)TS version of 2020 is relevant for the data submission in 2020 with the reference date for data submission being the 31.12.2019.

The second column provides the date at which the EBA has published the final draft ITS relevant to the exercise of a specific year. Changes to the ITS are usually consulted in January and February before the final draft ITS is published. It should be noted that formally the final draft ITS relevant to the exercise of a specific year are an amendment of the original ITS and that therefore it only covers those Annexes that have been changed vis-a-vis the previous year. 

The third column contains a summary of the changes that have been made in the final draft ITS published by the EBA at the date given in the second column compared to the requirements of the previous year.

The fourth column provides the link to the final ITS adopted and published (in a consolidated version – with all relevant annexes) by the Commission. Given that this consolidated version may be available only quite late in the process, banks should, until this information is published, rely on the final draft ITS published by EBA to prepare their data submission.  

The last column contains the link to relevant technical information related to the validation rules, the EBA Data Point Models (DPM) as well as the XBRL Taxonomies.
