European Banking Authority launches 2019 EU-wide transparency exercise

The European Banking Authority launched its 2019 EU-wide transparency exercise and expects to publish the results of the exercise alongside its annual risk assessment report in November, according to a Sept. 23 release.

The transparency exercise, which is part of the EBA's efforts to monitor risks and vulnerabilities, previously disclosed data on a semiannual basis, but as of 2019, the exercise will release data on a quarterly basis. The change in frequency of data disclosure is aimed at providing users with more intricate data for time series analysis, as well as to provide more comprehensive analysis of banks' financial assets and risk weighted assets.

The exercise is exclusively based on supervisory reporting data, and will involve the release of up to 2.2 million data points on about 130 EU banks. The data will cover information on capital positions, financial assets, risk exposure amounts, sovereign exposures and asset quality.
