EBA has launched a public consultation on its draft Regulatory Technical Standards (RTS) specifying and, where relevant, calibrating the minimum performance-related triggers for simple, transparent and standardised (STS) on-balance-sheet securitisations that feature non-sequential amortisation.  

The Capital Markets Recovery Package amended the Securitisation Regulation in several aspects, including creating a specific framework for STS on-balance-sheet securitisation to ensure that the Union securitisation framework provides for an additional tool to foster economic recovery in the aftermath of the COVID-19 crisis.

These draft technical standards aim at providing technical clarification on these triggers.

The consultation runs until 28 February 2022.

EBA has published two draft regulatory technical standards (RTS) regarding the reclassification of investment firms as credit institutions. This final draft of the RTS, which is part of the EBA’s roadmap for implementing a new prudential regime for investment firms, will provide clarity in the calculation of the EUR 30 billion threshold for investment firms in seeking authorization as a credit institution, as well as for competent authorities in monitoring the position of firms for reclassification.

EBA has published today its final draft Implementing Technical Standards (ITS) on supervisory reporting with respect to common reporting (COREP), asset encumbrance, global systemically important institutions (G-SIIs) and additional liquidity monitoring metrics (ALMM). Proportionality was a key consideration in the proposed changes, making reporting requirements better suited to the size and risk of the institutions.Following the recommendations of its cost of compliance Study, the EBA introduced the necessary amendments that will exempt small and non-complex institutions (SNCIs) from reporting several liquidity metrics.

EIOPA has published its revised Guidelines on Legal Entity Identifier (LEI), which provide guidance to national competent authorities.

The scope of the Guidelines is broader compared to the previous one and apart from insurance and reinsurance undertakings and Institutions for Occupational Retirement Provision, relevant branches and intermediaries operating cross-border are now also included. The revised Guidelines also contemplate the use of LEI code for identification purposes when competent authorities provide information to EIOPA.

National competent authorities are expected to apply these revised Guidelines from 1 July 2022 onwards.

EIOPA has published  its annual report on the use of limitations and exemptions from the regular Solvency II reporting by national competent authorities (NCAs) during 2020 and the first quarter of 2021.
