The updated Guidelines on harmonised definitions and templates for funding plans of credit institutions aim at improving the assessment of banks' funding plans and the relevance of the data provided for such assessments based on experience gained through the analysis of the data received as well as the questions raised via the EBA Single Rulebook Q&A tool.

These Guidelines set out high-level guidance, addressed to both credit institutions and investment firms, related to interest rate risk arising from non-trading activities (IRRBB). The paper sets out supervisory expectations regarding the measurement, management and governance arrangements of IRRBB and its reflection in the ICAAP. The guidelines also define the supervisory outlier test requirements for the assessment of institutions’ resilience to interest rate changes.

These draft RTS set out the data that is required to be disclosed on encumbered and unencumbered assets, the format, as well as the timing of the publication. These RTS build on the EBA Guidelines on the same topic and are addressed to institutions, providing them with three disclosure templates to be completed and published, along with line-by-line instructions for completing them. Institutions will have to disclose information in accordance with these disclosure templates, and provide some additional information on the importance of encumbrance in their individual funding model.
