  5. Basel II implementation in Europe 5 José María Roldán| 14 Nov 2005

  6. Implementation in the EU • Legal instrument to transpose Basel II to European legislation: Capital Requirements Directive (CRD). • Across all 25 EU countries (and 3 EEA countries); 8300 banks and more than 40 cross-border groups • Importance of the scope: The directive will apply to all credit institutions and investment firms. • CEBS guidelines for consistent implementation and convergence of supervisory practices Basel II – a global agreement The CRD – European legislation José María Roldán| 14 Nov 2005

  7. Implementation in the EU • Basel II: three pillars with checks and balances • Complex in detail but clear purpose and architecture • Based on the best practices of the industry => efficient regulation from an economic perspective • Flexible framework for small and big banks • QIS 5 • The CRD from January 2007 3 pillars Minimum Capital Requirements Regulatory view Supervisory review and evaluation (SREP) + Banks’ internal view (ICAAP) Market discipline Market view Credit riskMarket risk Operational risk Supervisoryjudgment Disclosure requirements José María Roldán| 14 Nov 2005

  8. Implementation in the EU • Recognises and encourages developments in risk management and supervisory practices • Incentives for all institutions to adopt more sophisticated approaches • A good business tool with business value (not just costs!) Risk management José María Roldán| 14 Nov 2005

  9. CEBS – role and tasks 9 José María Roldán| 14 Nov 2005

  10. Main tasks: to give advice to the Commission to promote consistent implementation of EU legislation to enhance convergence of supervisory practices Objectives: Promoting cross-border supervisory co-operation and the safety and soundness of the EU financial system through: good supervisory practices efficient and cost-effective approaches to supervision of cross-border groups effective regulation level playing field and proportionality CEBS’ role and tasks José María Roldán| 14 Nov 2005

  11. CEBS role and tasks CEBS focus on: • Consistent implementation and convergence of supervisory practices (Level 3) • Prudential issues, in particular Capital Requirements Directive (CRD) José María Roldán| 14 Nov 2005

  12. Priority areas of work Regulatory advice to the Commission Own funds, large exposures; possibly follow up on cross-border mergers and deposit guarantee schemes Convergence of supervisory practice Supervisory Review Process (Pillar 2) Validation of IRB and AMA systems External Credit Assessment Institutions (ECAIs) Harmonisation of reporting requirements Supervisory disclosure Co-operation and information exchange Supervision of cross-border groups (home-host) Crisis management (joint with the BSC) Information exchange Cross-sectoral issues Supervision of financial conglomerates Off-shore financial centres Outsourcing and internal governance Other areas of work Risks to banking stability Outsourcing Internal governance Impact of IFRS on prudential requirements The role of the audit function for prudential supervision Delivered products Advice: national discretions (work continues), prudential filters, cross-border mergers, e-money, DGS Consultation papers: consultation practices, outsourcing, supervisory review process, common reporting, financial reporting, validation, ECAIs, CEBS role and tasks, home host Guidelines: Supervisory disclosure Work Programme José María Roldán| 14 Nov 2005

  13. Work programme • Main priority for CEBS in 2006 is implementation of the Capital Requirements Directive • Final guidelines on: • Supervisory disclosure (tool to monitor implementation) • Supervision of cross-border groups • Validation of IRB and AMA systems • Supervisory Review Process (Pillar 2) • Common reporting frameworks (IFRS and solvency ratio) • Recognition of External Credit Assessment Institutions (ECAIs) • Consistent implementation and application José María Roldán| 14 Nov 2005

  14. CEBS - toolbox Standards Guidelines Recommendations Public disclosure Training and staff exchange Voluntary co-operation, unanimity commitment from members to implement common decisions José María Roldán| 14 Nov 2005

  15. Challenges for the supervision of cross-border groups 15 José María Roldán| 14 Nov 2005

  16. Challenges for the supervision of cross-border groups • Potential divergence in implementation • National options and discretions • Additional layers of national rules (“goldplating”) • Different interpretations • Complex and possibly fragmented supervisory process • Misalignment of legal and operational structures in banking groups • Risk of overlapping or conflicting supervisory assessments • Validation of models and Art. 129 • Supervisory Review Process (Pillar 2) • Administrative burden • Compliance costs, large vs. small banks • Differences in supervisory reporting • Duplication of contacts José María Roldán| 14 Nov 2005

  17. CEBS’ response • Potential divergence in implementation supervisory disclosure • Complex and possibly fragmented supervisory process enhanced home-host co-operation, Pillar 2 • Administrative burden common reporting requirements José María Roldán| 14 Nov 2005

  18. Supervisory disclosure 18 José María Roldán| 14 Nov 2005

  19. CEBS’ response: supervisory disclosure • Supervisors are required to publish (CRD Art. 144): • Rules and guidance • How options and national discretions are exercised • Supervisory review and evaluation • Statistical data on key implementation issues • Easy access and meaningful comparison  peer group pressure • Internet access via CEBS website www.c-ebs.org • Links to national websites • Comparable information • Common language - English José María Roldán| 14 Nov 2005

  20. CEBS’ response: supervisory disclosure José María Roldán| 14 Nov 2005

  21. Home-host co-operation 21 José María Roldán| 14 Nov 2005

  22. CEBS’ response: enhanced home-host co-operation • CRD Art. 129 to 132, enhanced co-operation and role of the consolidating supervisor • CEBS draft Guidelines, a practical framework for: • Co-ordinated planning • Structured exchange of information • Avoidance of redundancies • Optimal use of supervisory resources • Concrete examples: risk assessment and validation José María Roldán| 14 Nov 2005

  23. CEBS’ response: enhanced home-host co-operation • The notion of significance and systemic relevance • The process of information exchange • The respect of the legal allocation of responsibilities • Operational networks and delegation of tasks • Transparency of the arrangements José María Roldán| 14 Nov 2005

  24. Supervisory Review Process (Pillar 2) 24 José María Roldán| 14 Nov 2005

  25. Supervisory Review Process • Objectives of Pillar 2 are to: • Ensure institutions have adequate capital to support all risks in their business • Encourage institutions to manage risk and hold capital above Pillar 1 minimum requirements • Foster an active dialogue between institutions and supervisors • Covers the relationship between: • Supervisor’s SREP (the Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process); and • Institution’ ICAAP (the Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process) Basel II Pillar 1 Pillar 2 Pillar 3 Minimum Capital Requirements Regulatory view Supervisory review and evaluation (SREP) + Institutions’ internal view (ICAAP) Market discipline Market view Credit riskMarket risk Operational risk Supervisoryjudgment Disclosure requirements Banks and investment firms José María Roldán| 14 Nov 2005

  26. Supervisory Review Process • Proportionality is the key: - For large complex institutions  in-depth and “tailor-made” - For smaller institutions  likely to be quite standardised • CEBS considering possible guidance for smaller institutions • Second consultation finished in October • CEBS guidelines in January 2006 • Mixed response: high level principles or detailed guidance? • Small banks ask for detailed guidelines José María Roldán| 14 Nov 2005

  27. Common reporting 27 José María Roldán| 14 Nov 2005

  28. CEBS’ response: common reporting The challenge: HOW TO • limit the costs of pan-European institutions WHILE • respecting the diversity of the Single Market (large/small firms) and limit the impact on small local institutions José María Roldán| 14 Nov 2005

  29. CEBS’ response: common reporting • Common frameworks for: • Financial data for prudential purposes • Reporting of the solvency ratio • CRD and IFRS  window of opportunity for change: less administrative burden for cross-border groups; limited impact on small, local banks • Common templates and possibilities presented by new technologies (XBRL) • Consultation: criticisms on size and national flexibility • But new rules are complex and supervisors move from quite different starting points José María Roldán| 14 Nov 2005

  30. CEBS’ response: common reporting • Layer approach: harmonization & flexibility • Core: key information which more or less can be expected throughout the EU • Detailed: comprehensive information which a majority of supervisors may require • Reduction after consultation: • COREP: ± 75% (level of detail between US and Canada) • FINREP: ± 40% • Finalization in December 2005 due to pressure from the industry, no second round of consultation José María Roldán| 14 Nov 2005

  31. CEBS’ response: common reporting • Reporting now… and later… Supervisor 1 Supervisor 1 EU GroupReporting EU GroupReporting XBRL Supervisor 2 Supervisor 2 XBRL Supervisor 3 Supervisor 3 Various data streams Common frameworkDifferent reporting standards Single format Manual processes Automated data collection José María Roldán| 14 Nov 2005

  32. Creating a European supervisory culture 32 José María Roldán| 14 Nov 2005

  33. Creating a European supervisory culture • Compendium of CEBS’ standards, guidelines and recommendations • for supervisors and market participants • flexible, internet-based structure, easy to update • consistent terminology, definitions • Inventory of implementation issues • Training programmes and staff exchange José María Roldán| 14 Nov 2005

  34. Conclusions • Differences across countries not wiped out, but visible, so that priorities for further work can be identified • Not a single supervisory interface, but a more coordinated and streamlined process • Not a single compliance process, but greater commonality of approaches and a process for further convergence where needed • a structured process for convergence, whose pace and end result are not predetermined José María Roldán| 14 Nov 2005
