Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/855 of 15 March 2024 amending the implementing technical standards laid down in Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/451 as regards rules on the supervisory reporting of interest rate risk in the banking book

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2013 on prudential requirements for credit institutions and amending Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 (1) and in particular Article 430(7), fifth subparagraph, thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/451 (2) specifies the uniform reporting formats and templates, the instructions and methodology on how to use those templates, the frequency and dates of reporting, the definitions and the IT solutions for the reporting referred to in Article 430(1) to (4) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013. Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 has been amended by Regulation (EU) 2019/876 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3). In addition, Directive (EU) 2019/878 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4) introduced certain new prudential requirements into Directive 2013/36/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (5). Those amendments should be reflected into Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/451.

(2) For that reason, it is necessary to lay down the reporting templates that should be used to provide supervisors with the data they need to monitor Interest Rate Risks in the Banking Book (IRRBB), and the impact on institutions caused by changes in policy rates, including the interaction of the IRRBB with the management of interest rate risks by institutions, and the identification of outliers within both the Supervisory Outlier Test (SOT) on economic value of equity, and the SOT on net interest income.

(3) Pursuant to Article 430(8), point (e), of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 the European Banking Authority (EBA) is to make recommendations on how to reduce reporting requirements for at least small and non-complex institutions, so that these are reflected in the reporting framework. The EBA published in 2021 the Study of the cost of compliance with supervisory reporting requirements (6) setting out recommendations for further improving proportionality in supervisory reporting. Taking into account those recommendations and to limit the reporting burden, small and non-complex institutions should report a set of reduced templates.

(4) Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/451 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(5) To give clarity and sufficient time to prepare for the implementation of the reporting requirements introduced by this Regulation, institutions should start reporting in accordance with this Regulation not earlier than 6 months after its date of entry into force, in accordance with Article 430(7), second subparagraph, of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013. As a result, and to allow for further time for the implementation of the amendments introduced by this Regulation by the institutions, institutions should start reporting the amended set of information no earlier than for the reference date of 30 September 2024.

(6) This Regulation is based on the draft implementing technical standards submitted to the Commission by the EBA.

(7) The EBA has conducted open public consultations on the draft implementing technical standards on which this Regulation is based, analysed the potential related costs and benefits and requested the advice of the Banking Stakeholder Group established in accordance with Article 37 of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council (7),
