ECB Supervisory priorities 2025‑27

The ECB has decided to keep capital requirements largely unchanged for 2025 due to the strong performance of banks. However, specific banks will face additional capital requirements due to insufficient provisioning for non-performing loans and high exposures to leveraged loans. The ECB emphasized the need for banks to address governance, risk management, and operational resilience, particularly in light of macroeconomic threats and digital transformation challenges.

Discretionary Decisions in Capital Requirements under Solvency II

Date : Tags : , , , , ,
#insurers have discretion to determine #solvencyii #capitalrequirements. We find that long-term guarantees measures substantially influence the reported solvency ratios. The measures are chosen particularly by less solvent insurers and firms with high interest rate and credit spread sensitivities. Internal #models are used more frequently by large insurers and especially for #risks for which the firms have already found adequate immunization strategies.

Climate Change Stress Testing for the Banking System

The paper explores the potential inclusion of #climatechange #risks in the #prudential #regulatoryframework, specifically discussing adjustments to #capitalrequirements and changes to the #riskmanagement and #governance framework. The paper argues in favor of the latter but is more cautious regarding the former.

Machine Learning and IRB Capital Requirements: Advantages, Risks, and Recommendations

This paper examines the use of #machinelearning methods in the context of #banks' #capitalrequirements, specifically the internal Ratings Based (#irb) approach. The authors discuss the advantages and risks of using machine learning in this domain, and provide recommendations related to #risk parameter estimations, #regulatory capital, the trade-off between performance and interpretability, international #banking competition, and #governance, #operationalrisk, and training.

Weaknesses of Financial Market Regulation

" The biggest Shortcoming of the recent reforms to the stabilization of the #financialsystem, such as #baseliii and the American #doddfrankact Act, is that they increase the #capitalrequirements rather than the causes of the increased #risk. It would generally be better to forbid risky and complex #financialproducts than to further increase #regulation complexity."

The uncharted territory of the Bank of England's human rights obligations

This working paper analyzes whether the #boe has a legal obligation to adjust #capitalrequirements for #financialinstitutions in response to the #climatecrisis. The paper argues that the BoE, as a public authority, must abide by the #humanrights obligations set out in the European Convention on Human Rights, which are deeply intertwined with climate concerns.

Climate Risk and Canadian Banks: Is More Capital Required?

It highlights the increasing #regulatory focus on #climaterisk faced by #canada's #banks, both domestically through the #osfi and globally through the adoption of guidelines proposed by the #tcfd. As regulators seek to impose more #monitoring, #disclosure, and mitigation obligations on #financialinstitutions, the article raises whether banks' #capitalrequirements should be increased to reflect the #risks associated with #climatechange.

Risk Aggregation, Tail Risk, Correlation: Capital Allocation Efficiency and Regulator...

"... model uncertainty is a vital component of the current challenges in risk measurement, and therefore the regulator should design risk measures encouraging well-understood prudent decisions over (less understood) risky ones. From this perspective robust regulation should be a desirable goal. To achieve such an objective, simple – but not simpler – rules are needed."

Do Insurers Use Internal Capital Markets to Manage Regulatory Scrutiny Risk?

"… almost 50 percent of insurers at risk of facing additional regulatory scrutiny due to failing four Insurance Regulatory Information System (IRIS) ratios received sufficient internal capital to avoid enhanced regulation. Moreover, the likelihood and extent of internal capital allocation are related to regulatory scrutiny risk and the amount of capital allocated is typically just enough to avoid regulatory scrutiny."
