Technical Standards on the IMA under the FRTB
This package of 11 draft technical standards specifies essential aspects of the Internal Model Approach (IMA) under the Fundamental Review of the Trading Book (FRTB) and represents an important contribution to a smooth and harmonised implementation of the FRTB in the EU. The package includes (i) the draft RTS on liquidity horizons for the IMA, which specify how institutions should map risk factors to risk factors categories and subcategories, the currencies that constitute the most liquid currencies for interest rate risk, the currency pairs that constitute the most liquid pairs for foreign exchange (FX) risk and the definition of a small and large capitalisation for equities; (ii) the draft RTS on back-testing and profit and loss attribution (PLA) requirements, which specify the technical elements that institutions should consider where calculating the hypothetical, actual and risk-theoretical changes (HPL, APL and RTPL) in the relevant portfolio’s value for the purpose of the back-testing and the PLA test, as well as the criteria ensuring that the RTPL is sufficiently close to the HPL, the consequences for institutions with desks showing misalignments between RTPL and HPL, the frequency at which the PLA tests should be performed and the formula to be used where aggregating the own funds requirements for market risk for reporting purposes; and (iii) the draft RTS on the criteria for assessing the modellability of risk factors under the IMA, which set out how institutions should determine whether a risk factor is modellable or not, and the frequency of the assessment.
EBA updates list of diversified indices
The European Banking Authority (EBA) updated today the list of diversified indices, which was originally published in December 2013. The list is part of the implementing technical standards (ITS) drafted to calculate the capital requirements for position risk in equities according to the standardised rules. The list was updated according to the procedure and methodology laid down in the ITS and submitted to the European Commission for endorsement.

The amended ITS will assist Competent Authorities in their 2017 assessment of internal approaches both for credit risk, and for market risk.

EBA consults on amended technical standards on benchmarking of internal models
The European Banking Authority (EBA) launched today a consultation to amend the Commission Implementing Regulation on benchmarking of internal models to adjust the benchmarking portfolios and reporting requirements in view of the benchmarking exercise the EBA will carry out in 2019. The proposed changes reduce uncertainties in the credit risk portfolios, thus aiming at fostering a common and coherent interpretation and implementation of the reporting requirements across EU institutions. The consultation will run until 31 January 2018.

EBA releases its annual assessment of the consistency of internal model outcomes
The European Banking Authority (EBA) published today two reports on the consistency of risk weighted assets (RWAs) across all EU institutions authorised to use internal approaches for the calculation of capital requirements. The reports cover credit risk for high and low default portfolios (LDPs and HDPs), as well as market risk. The results confirm previous findings, with the majority of risk-weights (RWs) variability explained by fundamentals. These benchmarking exercises, conducted by the EBA on an annual basis are a fundamental supervisory and convergence tool to address unwarranted inconsistencies and restoring trust in internal models.
