The European Banking Authority (EBA) today published its quarterly Risk Dashboard (RDB) together with the first edition of the RDB on minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL). Volatility in EU/EEA banks’ equity and debt has been strongly affected by Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and Credit Suisse related events, although direct exposures of EU/EEA banks towards these banks were limited according to indications from supervisory reporting as of Q4 2022. Banks’ capital and liquidity ratios remain strong and profitability continues to increase.

The European Banking Authority (EBA) published today new Guidelines to ensure that customers have access to the financial services they need to fully participate in society and that they are not denied this access on unsubstantiated Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) grounds or without valid reason. These Guidelines will contribute to foster a common understanding by institutions and AML/CFT supervisors of effective money laundering and terrorist financing (ML/TF) risk management practices in situations where access by customers to financial products and services should be safeguarded, in particular for the most vulnerable ones.
