The European Banking Authority (EBA) has today published for informal consultation its draft methodology, templates, and guidance for the 2025 EU-wide stress test. This step marks the beginning of the dialogue with the banking industry and builds upon the methodology used in the 2023 exercise, with improvements reflecting new insights and regulatory changes. Some important changes are introduced, notably the integration of the upcoming Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR3), set to be implemented on January 1, 2025. It also considers the Commission’s announcement[1] to postpone the application date of the fundamental review of the trading book (FRTB). Other enhancements include the centralisation of net interest income (NII) projections and advancements in the market risk methodology to increase risk sensitivity. 68 banks from the EU and Norway, including 54 from the euro area, will participate in the exercise[2], thus covering 75% of the EU banking sector. The expanded geographical reach and incorporation of proportionality features aim to boost efficiency while ensuring the relevance and transparency of the results.
