The European Banking Authority (EBA) today published a follow-up Peer Review Report on the exclusion from the credit valuation adjustment (CVA) risk of transactions with non-financial counterparties established in a third country. This follow-up Review found that competent authorities continue to largely assess CVA risk sufficiently, using different approaches which are fit for purpose in satisfying the regulatory requirements and the Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process (SREP) Guidelines. Furthermore, since the 2023 Report, all competent authorities have made some progress in strengthening their CVA risk assessments and addressing the follow-up measures suggested as part of that Report.
