Le document EBA/CP/2026/07 du 10 avril 2026 réforme le reporting des pertes de risque opérationnel sous CRR3, en application de l'Article 317 du CRR.
Changement clé : passage d'un reporting agrégé à un reporting granulaire événement par événement via l'approche "Open Table". L'ancien COREP C 17.01/17.02 est abrogé et remplacé par un modèle unique C 17.01 semestriel.
Nouvelle taxonomie EBA/RTS/2025/03 : 7 types d'événements de Niveau 1, 26 catégories détaillées de Niveau 2, et 15 attributs. Ces attributs capturent les risques émergents ESG et DORA sans multiplier les catégories.
Calendrier : 2026, capture interne selon la nouvelle taxonomie. Mi-2026 à mi-2027, période transitoire avec reporting limité au Niveau 1. 30 septembre 2027, application des nouveaux ITS. 31 décembre 2027, premier reporting granulaire incluant un rattrapage rétroactif depuis 2026.
Proportionnalité : Seuils des articles 316 et 319 maintenus. Reporting volontaire possible pour SNCI et banques moyennes.
Historique : Collecte one-off fin 2027. Look-back 10 ans pour Niveau 1, 1 an minimum pour Niveau 2 et attributs.

L'EBA privilégie l'approche granulaire pour simplifier les retraitements et harmoniser le reporting européen.

La réponse d'Insurance Europe à la consultation de la Commission européenne visant à simplifier les règles de fiscalité directe propose des ajustements techniques pour plusieurs directives clés, notamment sur les sociétés mères et filiales et les fusions, afin d'accroître la sécurité juridique et de réduire les lourdeurs administratives. Elle préconise également une meilleure cohérence entre les dispositifs existants, tels que la directive ATAD ou DAC 6, et le nouveau cadre du Pilier Deux sur l'imposition minimale mondiale. Un point spécifique concerne l'égalité de traitement pour les institutions de retraite professionnelle sous le régime Solvabilité II dans le cadre de la directive FASTER. En somme, ces recommandations visent à instaurer un environnement fiscal plus compétitif et harmonisé pour les assureurs opérant dans l'Union européenne.

Ce document de l'EIOPA définit les spécifications techniques permettant d'identifier les entreprises et groupes d'assurance de petite taille et non complexes (SNCU/SNCG). Il instaure un cadre de proportionnalité visant à adapter les exigences réglementaires de Solvabilité II selon la nature et l'ampleur des risques. Pour bénéficier de ce statut simplifié, les entités doivent satisfaire des critères qualitatifs, comme l'absence de modèles internes, et des critères quantitatifs liés au volume d'activité. L'évaluation repose sur neuf indicateurs de risque précis, incluant notamment le risque de taux d'intérêt, le ratio combiné et les activités transfrontalières. Ces mesures visent à garantir une convergence de la supervision européenne tout en allégeant la charge administrative des acteurs les moins risqués.

EIOPA submitted draft amendments to two Implementing Technical Standards under Solvency II to the European Commission. The proposals incorporate changes from the Solvency II review and aim to reduce the reporting burden by at least 25% across sectors .The amendments include reducing the frequency of certain templates, deleting some annual templates, greater use of proportionality, and technical simplifications. EIOPA states these would lower quarterly templates by 26% for solo undertakings, annual templates by 30%, and data points by 22%, with higher reductions for small and non-complex undertakings.
EIOPA expresses the view that the changes would provide meaningful benefits without jeopardizing policyholder protection or financial stability. The new requirements are set to apply from 30 January 2027, with a transitional provision for 2026 annual reporting.

The European Supervisory Authorities (ESAs) identify ongoing geopolitical tensions—particularly conflicts affecting energy markets—as key risks, potentially driving inflation, weaker growth, and financial market volatility. It states that high valuations and rising interest rates may increase liquidity and asset-quality risks. The update also highlights vulnerabilities in private finance due to limited transparency, complex interconnections, and shifting investor sentiment. Despite these concerns, it describes the EU financial sector as broadly resilient, with strong capital and liquidity positions. Authorities are said to urge continued vigilance, risk monitoring, and prudent management of exposures, especially regarding geopolitical developments and private markets.

The report outlines how digitalization and technological innovation introduce significant operational and digital risks to global financial stability. Key vulnerabilities include the expansion of Artificial Intelligence (AI), which complicates governance and monitoring while increasing systemic correlations. Furthermore, the report highlights risks from third-party dependencies, particularly cloud concentration among a few providers, which could amplify crises. Operational resilience is also a primary concern; outages at critical nodes or cyber incidents are viewed as direct threats. Consequently, the FSB is prioritizing standardized incident reporting and public-private collaboration to mitigate these emerging threats by 2026.

This report assesses how the Minimum Requirement for own funds and Eligible Liabilities (MREL) has influenced the EU banking sector between 2022 and 2024. The document examines the regulatory impact on financial markets, bank profitability, and the evolution of funding structures following the full implementation of BRRD II. It highlights that while most institutions met their final targets by the 2024 deadline, smaller banks still face structural hurdles in accessing wholesale funding markets. Data indicates a significant shift toward senior non-preferred (SNP) debt as a primary tool for meeting subordination requirements. Ultimately, the report concludes that while compliance costs are higher for retail-oriented firms, MREL has successfully strengthened loss-absorbing capacities without destabilizing bank business models.

The article reports that the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority and the EU Agency for the Space Programme present a joint white paper examining the use of Copernicus Earth observation data for supervising extreme weather risks. It describes a pilot project suggesting satellite data can provide near real-time, independent insights to improve risk assessment, loss estimation, and stress testing in the insurance sector. The paper argues such data can enhance identification of affected areas, support micro- and macro-level analysis, and strengthen model validation, contributing to more effective management of climate-related disasters.

The Q4 2025 EBA Risk Dashboard summarizes the European banking sector’s condition using a "traffic light" Risk Indicator heatmap. The report describes a period of high liquidity, noting that no sampled assets fell into the highest risk category for Liquidity Coverage Ratios. While solvency remains strong, with 79% of assets in the top Tier 1 capital bracket, this reflects a slight decrease from 2024. Profitability remains a concentrated risk, as nearly half of assets show high cost-to-income ratios. Overall sector stability is monitored through asset-weighted indicators and a composite Risk Assessment meter.

This paper analyzes the shift in European digital regulation from a science-based model to one rooted in constitutional values. While traditional risk management relied on the precautionary principle and quantifiable data, modern frameworks like the GDPR, DSA, and AI Act focus on safeguarding fundamental rights and democracy. The authors argue that this transformation addresses the intangible nature of digital harms and the significant imbalance of power between public regulators and private tech firms. By delegating risk assessment to private entities, the EU utilizes accountability and proportionality as tools to govern technological uncertainty. Ultimately, the text illustrates how legal and ethical standards have replaced empirical science as the primary metrics for regulating the digital ecosystem.
