EBA Publishes Its Closure Report Of Covid-19 Measures And Repeals Its Guidelines On Covid-19 Reporting And Disclosure

Date 16/12/2022

The European Banking Authority (EBA) today published its closure report of Covid-19 measures, which provides an overview of the wide range of policy measures taken on the back of the pandemic, their state of play and the path out of policy support.  Although the EU banking system proved overall resilient, the ample support provided does not give room to complacency, and the framework is to be further strengthened with a loyal and prompt implementation of Basel III. The publication is accompanied by an update to the list of public guarantee schemes (PGS) and general payment moratoria schemes issued in response to the pandemic. Finally, the EBA Guidelines on Covid-19 reporting and disclosure have been repealed in response to the decreasing relevance of the related public support measures, and the overall EBA proportionate approach to reporting.
