EBA puts integrated reporting at the centre of its 2027 plans
The European Banking Authority (EBA) has published its 2027 Work Programme, with advancing integrated reporting and data sharing among the year’s headline priorities. The programme is organised around three drivers: improving efficiency, fostering resilience and supporting transformation.
The reporting agenda is a busy one. The EBA will keep developing Data Point Model (DPM) Standard 2.0 and its DPM Studio tooling, working with the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA) and the European Central Bank (ECB) in the DPM alliance towards a common data dictionary for banking reporting. With the ECB and national authorities, it will continue building an integrated system covering prudential, resolution and statistical reporting, while the Joint Bank Reporting Committee works on a shared, semantically integrated glossary. A public EU-wide repository of data requests is due to launch, alongside better coordination of requests across authorities.
Data sharing is also central to 2027. The EBA’s public data hub will extend to Pillar 3 data from small and non-complex institutions, and the European Systemic Risk Board will gain access to a wide set of granular banking data. The 2027 EU-wide stress test asks for 55% fewer data points than the 2025 exercise, and the EBA plans to collect starting-point data directly from regular supervisory reporting.
This is the impact of the DPM and accompanying XBRL taxonomies. Define a data point once, with an agreed meaning, and it can be reported once and reused by supervisors, statisticians, resolution authorities and stress testers alike. The EBA frames the programme as a step towards becoming a more modern, data-driven regulator that also provides data services to the wider supervisory community, a laudable aim that relies on the common data definitions underpinning these updates.
