The EBA repeals its Guidelines on the specification of types of exposures to be associated with high risk

  • News
  • 16 May 2025

The European Banking Authority (EBA) today repealed its Guidelines on specification of types of exposures to be associated with high risk due to the application of the new capital requirement regulation (CRR 3). The repeal of the Guidelines aims at providing legal certainty to the market.

The Guidelines were published on the 15th of March 2019, as mandated per CRR article 128 last sub-paragraph. They clarified which exposures should be considered as "high risk exposures". Given that this exposure class no longer exists in CRR 3, as Article 128 now only refers to 'subordinated debt exposures', the Guidelines are no longer applicable.
