The European Banking Authority (EBA) today published an Opinion on the interaction between the output floor and Pillar 2 Requirements (P2R) in the context of the mandate set forth in the Capital Requirements Directive (CRD). The Opinion considers that the nominal amount of P2R is not to increase as a result of an institution becoming bound by the output floor and highlights the possibility of double counting in setting the P2R of risks already covered by the effects of a binding output floor.

​The European Banking Authority (EBA) today published its Peer Review on the application of proportionality under the Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process (SREP). The Peer Review found that proportionality in the SREP, and in the liquidity assessment under the SREP, is largely implemented by the competent authorities under review, though with some adaptations to the local context and the risk profile of the institutions under their supervisory remit. However, the EBA set out a series of follow-up measures to address the deficiencies identified. In particular, the EBA encourages all competent authorities to ensure that they make use of the proportionality mechanisms embedded in the SREP Guidelines. The EBA will also consider the outcome of this Peer Review in the context of the upcoming review of the SREP Guidelines.
