EBA publishes follow-up review of banks transparency in their 2012 reports
The European Banking Authority (EBA) published today a follow-up review aimed at assessing the disclosures made by 19 European institutions in response to the Basel Pillar 3 requirements, as set out in the EU Capital Requirements Directive (CRD). Overall, despite improvements in some specific areas, credit institutions’ compliance with disclosure requirements remains unchanged compared to last year’s assessment where no bank had fully met all the requirements. The report also highlighted that comparability and consistency of disclosures between the different institutions could be improved.
