Do EBA guidelines strike the right balance between economic growth, financial stability and consumer protection? Is the guidance on the creditworthiness assessment fit for purpose? What is the likely impact on both lenders and borrowers? What more is required to promote responsible lending?
The European Banking Authority (EBA) published the final guidelines on loan origination and monitoring in
May 2020. These guidelines aim to improve the lending standards and
asset quality of lenders after June 2021, and bring together the
prudential standards for lenders, borrower protection, anti-money
laundering and sustainability.
These new guidelines were discussed during the CEPS-ECRI webinar by
stakeholders involved in their preparation and affected by them. To what

financial stability and consumer protection? Is the guidance on the
creditworthiness assessment fit for purpose? What is the likely impact
on both lenders and borrowers? What more is required to promote
responsible lending?
