The European Banking Authority (EBA) has introduced some important changes to the Single Rulebook Q&A tool. The major changes focus on the stricter prioritisation of incoming questions, more stringent criteria for submitting questions, grouping of questions which raise related issues, and a new publication policy for questions and answers.

The European Banking Authority (EBA) published today final draft Regulatory Technical Standards (RTS) on the methodology for identifying Global Systemically Important Institutions (G-SIIs), final draft Implementing Technical Standards (ITS) on special disclosure rules applicable to G-SIIs, and final guidelines on special disclosure rules for large institutions. The identification of G-SIIs in the EU is aligned with the framework established by the Financial Stability Board (FSB) and developed by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS). These standards and guidelines will be part of the EU Single Rulebook in banking and aim at enhancing regulatory harmonisation and disclosure across the EU.

The European Banking Authority (EBA) published today a list of capital instruments across the EU that national supervisory authorities have classified as Common Equity Tier 1. This list, which was compiled in accordance with Article 26 of the Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR), is based on the information received from the 28 national competent authorities across the EU and includes all the CET1 instruments issued by institutions and evaluated as compliant by the national supervisory authorities. The list will be maintained and updated on a regular basis.
