Le rapport détaille la coopération entre les trois autorités de surveillance européennes pour garantir la stabilité financière et la protection des consommateurs. Un axe majeur de ce document concerne l'application du règlement DORA, visant à renforcer la cyberrésilience face aux menaces numériques croissantes.

Cet article présente l'avis officiel de l'EBA concernant les modifications apportées par la Commission européenne aux normes techniques sur le risque opérationnel. L'EBA s'oppose fermement à la possibilité de combiner deux méthodes de calcul distinctes, craignant que cette flexibilité n'encourage l'arbitrage réglementaire et ne complique excessivement la surveillance.

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.

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 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 final report from the European Banking Authority (EBA) introduces new Implementing Technical Standards (ITS) for the supervisory reporting of Third Country Branches (TCBs) operating within the European Union. Established under the CRD VI regulatory package, these standards create a harmonized framework to replace fragmented national rules and ensure effective oversight of foreign banking entities. The reporting requirements are structured around a proportionality principle, distinguishing between Class 1 and Class 2 branches to tailor the volume and frequency of data collection based on an entity's size and risk. Under the new mandate, branches must submit standardized templates covering their own financial and regulatory health, as well as critical information regarding their head undertakings and wider group activities. To ease the transition, the EBA has simplified several data requirements and set the initial reporting deadline for March 31, 2027. This initiative ultimately aims to strengthen financial stability and create a level playing field across the EU banking sector.

This is a consultation on revising joint guidelines for assessing the suitability of management body members and key function holders at EU banks and investment firms. Open until 25 May 2026, it is part of a broader “Suitability Package” that includes draft Regulatory Technical Standards on documentation requirements. The revisions aim to harmonize suitability assessments across the EU, reflect new Capital Requirements Directive requirements, clarify controls for third-country branches, link assessments with anti-money-laundering frameworks, and introduce simplification measures.
A public hearing is scheduled for 15 April 2026.

This report evaluates how competent authorities have implemented previous recommendations regarding ICT risk assessment within the Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process (SREP). The document highlights a significant shift in the regulatory landscape due to the application of DORA, which establishes a unified framework for financial sector resilience. According to the findings, supervisors have made notable progress by forming specialized ICT teams, enhancing technical expertise, and adopting automated monitoring tools. Furthermore, the report details the integration of ICT-specific guidelines into broader operational risk assessments to ensure a more cohesive supervisory approach. While most authorities have successfully adopted benchmarking and horizontal analysis, the EBA emphasizes that maintaining supervisory convergence remains an ongoing priority as technology evolves. Overall, the report confirms that the EU is moving toward a more harmonized and robust regime for managing digital risks in banking.

This document presents the formal evaluation of proposed simplifications to the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). While the EBA supports the overall goal of reducing the reporting burden for companies, it expresses significant concern that certain permanent reliefs and data omissions could lead to long-term information gaps. The authority argues that a lack of high-quality, quantitative sustainability data may hinder risk management, facilitate greenwashing, and ultimately threaten financial stability. To address these risks, the EBA recommends implementing time-limited transitions for specific disclosure exemptions to ensure companies eventually provide comprehensive metrics. Additionally, the EBA emphasizes the need for interoperability with global standards and calls for the retention of key indicators, such as greenhouse gas emissions intensity, to support informed investment decisions.

The EBA released an updated list of indicators for risk assessment and risk analysis tools, along with a revised methodological guide. This update does not introduce any additional reporting requirements for institutions or competent authorities. Instead, it clarifies how risk indicators are calculated in EBA publications, enabling users and competent authorities to interpret key banking figures consistently when conducting risk assessments and analyses.
