The European Banking Authority (EBA) today published two Reports on the market share of subsidiaries of non-EU banks in the EU, as well as on EU banks’ assets and liabilities in foreign currencies. The market share of EU subsidiaries of third country banking groups amounts to 9.8% of total assets as of December 2023 (down from 10.17% a year earlier). The Report indicates that EU/EEA banks currently hold nearly 32% of their exposures in foreign currencies and receive 21.1% of their total funding in foreign currencies. This marks an upward trend since December 2023.

The EBA publishes Report on direct provision of banking services from third countries
The European Banking Authority (EBA) today published a Report on the direct provision of banking services from third countries. The quantitative and qualitative analysis performed didn’t provide evidence to recommend the amendment of the new Article 21c of the Capital Requirement Directive (CRD) which identifies how core banking services should be provided in a Member State. However, the EBA suggests a clarification of the interaction between Article 21c of the CRD and other sectorial legislations could be beneficial to authorities and market participants.
