10/10/2022 (Agence Europe) – On Friday 7 October the European Banking Authority (EBA) updated its October 2020 monitoring report on the quality of bank own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL) instruments in the event of a banking group failure. It notes that its recommendations have generally been followed, although it makes some new ones and also reports on best practice observed. In this updated report, EBA analysed 25 transactions issued in 16 countries for a total of €15.3 billion. In April, the European authority noted that the MREL asset gap has been reduced from €110 to 67.6 billion in 2020. See the EBA report: https://aeur.eu/f/3i1 (MB)
