The European Banking Authority (EBA) updated today the 2019 list of Other Systemically Important Institutions (O-SIIs) in the EU. O-SIIs - those institutions which, along with Global Systemically Important Institutions (G-SIIs), are deemed systemically important - have been identified by the relevant authorities across the Union according to harmonised criteria provided by the EBA Guidelines. This list also reflects the additional capital buffers that the relevant authorities have set for the identified O-SIIs. The list of O-SIIs is available also in a user-friendly visualisation tool, including the information on O-SII buffers assigned to identified institutions across the EU.

In light of the turbulence caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, and the need for potential applicants to focus on other issues, the European Banking Authority (EBA) has decided to extend the deadline of the call for expression of interest for its Banking Stakeholder Group (BSG) to 17 April at 23.59 CET. This extension will allow more time to all interested stakeholders to apply.

Following the publication of its statement on the application of the prudential framework regarding default, forbearance and IFRS9 in light of COVID-19 measures, the European Banking Authority (EBA) published today more detailed guidance on the criteria to be fulfilled by legislative and non-legislative moratoria applied before 30 June 2020. The aim of these Guidelines is to clarify the requirements for public and private moratoria, which if fulfilled, will help avoid the classification of exposures under the definition of forbearance or as defaulted under distressed restructuring.
