In response to the Coronavirus crisis, the European Central Bank (ECB), the European Banking Authority (EBA) and the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) issued numerous statements and clarifications aiming to relieve the (regulatory) burden on banks and other financial institutions so that they can focus on the operational maintenance of their business operations, in particular the provision of credits to both the real economy and consumers.
1. ECB publications
All ECB statements are comprised in a FAQ tool on the ECB website. Important publications of the ECB are:
All measures taken by the ECB are aimed at relieving banks of regulatory burdens while continuing to ensure adequate supervision. Given the tight market situation which threatens the existence of large and small enterprises and entrepreneurs, a functioning credit system is crucial.
2. EBA publications
The EBA has provided a statement on the application of the prudential framework regarding Default, Forbearance and IFRS9 in light of COVID-19 measures:
A sound identification of credit impaired assets on banks´ balance sheets must be ensured at all times. The consistency and comparability of risk indicators is a pre-condition for banks, supervisory authorities and the general public to monitor the effects of the current crisis. In order to be able to properly reflect the actual credit risk in their balance sheets, institutions should therefore not make use of automatic mechanisms when assessing whether there is an increased credit risk.
3. ESMA publications
With regard to the provision of investment services, ESMA has published, inter alia,
In the area of investment services, which are often (also) provided by banks, ESMA aims to ensure that institutions can concentrate on their operational business and that, for example, deadlines for regulatory reporting are handled flexibly. In addition, ESMA adapts to the increased provision of financial services from staff working remotely and interprets supervisory requirements accordingly so that business operations can be maintained.
