EBA final draft implementing technical standards amending disclosure and reporting rules on MREL and TLAC, focusing on daisy chain investments, prior permissions for liability buybacks, and minor CRR adjustments, set to apply from June 2024.
The European Banking Authority (EBA) today published its Report on liquidity measures, which monitors and evaluates the liquidity coverage requirements currently in place in the EU. Between June 2022 and June 2023, the EU banks’ liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) declined but remained comfortably above the minimum requirement. However, within this review period there were important fluctuations in the components of the ratio, driven mostly by changes in the banks’ allocation of funding deposits and the ongoing reduction of central bank liquidity. Unlike the LCR in domestic currency, EU banks’ LCR in foreign currencies remained below 100%.
EBA report analyzing liquidity measures under Article 509(1) of the CRR, assessing LCR trends, impacts of TLTRO repayments, minimum reserve requirements, and interactions with monetary policy on Euro area banks' liquidity buffers and lending.
