EBA publishes its final Guidelines on data collection exercises regarding high earners
The European Banking Authority (EBA) today published its final updated Guidelines on the data collection exercise on high earners, which were originally released in 2012 and revised in 2014. The update of the data collection exercises reflects the amended remuneration framework laid down in the Capital Requirements Directive (CRD), including the introduction of derogations to pay out a part of the variable remuneration in instruments and under deferral arrangements. In addition, the need to update these Guidelines stems from the specific remuneration regime that has been introduced for investment firms and is laid down in the Investment Firms Directive (IFD) and Investment Firms Regulation (IFR).
