EBA updates on the definition of a large decline of net interest income in relation to the interest rate risk in the banking book
The European Banking Authority (EBA) published today an Opinion in response to the EU Commission’s amendments relating to the draft Regulatory Technical Standards (RTS) on the supervisory outlier tests (SOT) specifying technical aspects of the revised framework on interest rate risks for banking book (IRRBB) positions. The EBA confirms its close scrutiny on the implementation of the IRRBB regulatory products and more generally on the impact of the evolving interest rates on the management of IRRBB by EU institutions and on other related prudential aspects.
