European Banking Authority Publishes Final Draft Implementing Technical Standards on Pillar 3 Disclosure Framework under Third Capital Requirements Regulation | A&O Shearman

The European Banking Authority has finalized its draft implementing technical standards on public disclosures by institutions that implement the changes in the Pillar 3 disclosure framework introduced by the third Capital Requirements Regulation, which stem from the latest Basel III reforms. The ITS implement the CRR III prudential disclosure requirements by including new requirements on output floor, credit risk, market risk, CVA risk, operational risk, and a transitional disclosure on exposures to crypto-assets. In addition, they aim to provide institutions with a comprehensive, integrated set of uniform disclosure formats. The ITS repeal the Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/637 on public disclosures, with a view to enabling the EBA to comply with its mandate to develop IT solutions, making the technical standards more user-friendly for institutions. Later in 2024, the EBA will complement these ITS with the CRR III disclosure requirements that are not directly linked to Basel III implementation, in particular the extension of the disclosure requirements on environmental, social and governance risks to all institutions in accordance with the proportionality principle, and new disclosure requirements on shadow banking.
