The European Banking Authority (EBA) published today a Discussion Paper on its approach to financial technology (FinTech). The EBA sets out in the Discussion Paper the results of the first EU-wide FinTech mapping exercise and its proposals for future work on FinTech.

FinTech has the potential to transform the provision of financial services. For this reason, public authorities in the EU and beyond have started to investigate the impact FinTech is having on the financial system and its regulation and supervision.

The EBA has conducted already a significant amount of work in relation to certain types of financial innovations, such as crowdfunding and virtual currencies, but is stepping up its FinTech-related work to investigate the impact of FinTech on the financial system and its regulation and supervision.

To gain a better understanding of current FinTech activity in the EU, in spring 2017, the EBA launched the first EU-wide FinTech mapping exercise to which it received responses from 22 Member States and 2 EEA States. Detailed information was provided for 282 FinTech firms.

Based on the FinTech mapping exercise and existing EBA work, the EBA has identified proposals for future work in six areas: (i) authorisation and sandboxing regimes; (ii) the impact on prudential and operational risks for credit institutions, electronic money institutions and payment institutions; (iii) the impact of FinTech on the business models of these institutions; (iv) consumer protection and retail conduct of business issues; (v) the impact of FinTech on the resolution of financial firms; and (vi) the impact of FinTech on anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism.

The EBA invites views from stakeholders on the scope of its proposed work.

Legal basis

The EBA Founding Regulation mandates the EBA to act in the field of activities of credit institutions, financial conglomerates, investment firms, payment institutions, and electronic money institutions.

The EBA is tasked with monitoring new and existing financial activities, and market developments in the areas of its competence, and may adopt guidelines and recommendations or provide advice to the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission, with a view to promoting the safety and soundness of markets and convergence of regulatory and supervisory practices and to achieving a coordinated approach to the regulatory and supervisory treatment of new or innovative financial activities.

In this context, the EBA has published the Discussion Paper with a view to seeking views on its proposed future work in relation to FinTech.

Titlurile de stat reprezinta circa 43% din activele totale ale Bancii. Cam mult pt. o Banca ce trebuie sa finanteze economia. In plus, se poate anticipa in viitor o crestere a ratelor dobanzii si implicit a randamentelor oferite de titlurile de stat (scaderea preturilor titlurile de stat detinute).

The EBA reactivates its Guidelines on legislative and non-legislative moratoria

After closely monitoring the developments of the COVID-19 pandemic and, in particular, the impact of the second COVID-19 wave and the related government restrictions taken in many EU countries, the European Banking Authority (EBA) has decided to reactivate its Guidelines on legislative and non-legislative moratoria.This reactivation will ensure that loans, which had previously not benefitted from payment moratoria, can now also benefit from them.The role of banks to ensure the continued flow of lending to clients remains of utmost importance and with the reactivation of these Guidelines, the EBA recognises the exceptional circumstances of the second COVID-19 wave.The EBA revised Guidelines, which will apply until 31 March 2021, include additional safeguards against the risk of an undue increase in unrecognised losses on banks’ balance sheet.With the continued unfolding of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is crucial... detalii
