The Guidelines, which are part of the deliverables included in the roadmap for the new market and counterparty credit risk approaches, will be applicable from 1 January 2022.

The European Banking Authority (EBA) launched today a public consultation on its draft Regulatory Technical Standards (RTS) on the list of countries with an advanced economy for calculating the equity risk under the alternative standardised approach (FRTB-SA). These RTS are part of the phase 3 deliverables of the EBA roadmap for the new market and counterparty credit risk approaches. The consultation runs until 2 July 2021.

The European Banking Authority (EBA) published today two Reports on the consistency of risk weighted assets (RWAs) across all EU institutions authorised to use internal approaches for the calculation of capital requirements for 2020. The Reports cover credit risk for high and low default portfolios (LDPs and HDPs), as well as market risk. The results confirm that the majority of risk-weights (RWs) variability can be explained by fundamentals. These benchmarking exercises are a fundamental supervisory and convergence tool to address unwarranted inconsistencies and restoring trust in internal models.

The European Banking Authority (EBA) launched today two public consultations on its draft Regulatory Technical Standards (RTS) on gross jump-to-default (JTD) amounts and its draft RTS on residual risk add-on (RRAO). These draft RTS specify i) how gross JTD amounts are to be determined for the purposes of calculating the default risk charge for non-securitisation instruments, and ii) how to identify instruments exposed to residual risks for the purposes of the residual risk add on (RRAO) - under the alternative standardised approach for market risk. These draft RTS are part of the phase 3 deliverables of the EBA roadmap for the new market and counterparty credit risk approaches. Both consultations run until 12 June 2021.
