The European Central Bank (ECB) has adopted an opinion on the proposed amendment to Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 (CRR) as regards the requirements for credit risk, credit assessment adjustment risk, operational risk, market risk and the output floor.
ECB notes that the proposed amendments to the CRR are closely linked to another proposal on which ECB received a consultation request, namely a proposal for a Directive of the European Parliament and
of the Council amending Directive 2013/36/EU as regards supervisory powers, sanctions, third-country branches, environmental, social and governance risk.
ECB welcomes the Commission’s proposals, which implement the outstanding Basel III reforms in the EU, reinforce the EU Single Rulebook and enhance the prudential framework for credit institutions in various areas.
The proposed reforms, ECB emphasises, are of crucial importance for the EU’s financial stability and international credibility. Consistent implementation of these reforms serves to underline the EU’s commitment to international financial cooperation, thereby helping to strengthen the functioning of the global financial system and confidence in EU banks.
ECB emphasises that there are a number of risks that need to be adequately addressed, in particular:
  • the prudential treatment of real estate exposures
  • the credit risk of un-rated corporates; and
  • counterparty risk, equity exposures and operational risk.
