EBA launches EU-wide transparency exercise
The European Banking Authority (EBA) has launched its latest EU-wide Transparency Exercise, designed to enhance transparency and market discipline by providing consistent and comparable information on more than 100 of the largest EU banks.
The dataset will include capital positions, risk exposures, sovereign holdings and asset quality, with results to be published in December alongside the EBA’s Risk Assessment Report. Interactive tools will also be made available, enabling users to explore data by country, bank and over time.
Since 2011, the transparency exercise has been a cornerstone of EU banking supervision, complementing banks’ Pillar 3 disclosures and the EBA’s stress tests. Crucially, it relies exclusively on supervisory reporting data, avoiding any additional reporting burden for banks.
