EBA publishes decision on data for supervisory benchmarking

02 June 2016

This Decision comes after the publication of the amended technical standards on benchmarking of internal approaches and requires Competent Authorities to submit data for the 2016 benchmarking exercise, focusing on High Default Portfolios and with reference to end-2015 data.

Competent authorities, referred to in Article 4 (2) (i) of the European Banking Authority (EBA) Regulation, shall submit to the EBA in accordance with the provisions set out in this Decision:

• supervisory benchmarking data, which the competent authorities receive from institutions in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Benchmarking Implementing Regulation; and
• supervisory data received from institutions in accordance with Chapter 3, Section 1 of the Reporting Regulation where such data are not already submitted to the EBA in accordance with EBA Decision EBA/DC/130.

Competent authorities shall submit supervisory data referred to in paragraph 1(b) with annual frequency and reference date of 31 December of each calendar year.

For institutions belonging to banking groups, the data referred to in paragraph 1 shall be submitted to the EBA only at the highest level of their consolidation in the EU. For stand-alone institutions, the data referred to in paragraph 1 shall be submitted to the EBA on an individual basis.

A list of institutions has also been made available along with the Decision.

The EBA is therefore requesting Competent Authorities to transmit institutions' data for supervisory benchmarking purposes, leveraging on the usual data collection procedures and formats of regular supervisory reporting.

Institutions should submit data to their Competent Authorities by 30 June 2016.
