The main conclusions of the analysis confirmed that banks have made efforts to improve their disclosures and to convey their risk profile in a comprehensive way to market participants. In all areas under review, best practice disclosures have been identified, and the EBA encourages credit institutions to follow them.
In addition, the analysis states that some of the findings included in the 2010 report calling for further improvements remain valid although they apply to a reduced number of banks or concern specific requirements of the CRD (e.g. quantitative back-testing information for credit risk, information on counterparty credit risk covering the issue of wrong-way risk, etc.).
Finally, the EBA calls for further efforts to be made for a greater harmonisation of the disclosures provided by the firms, in terms of both timeline and standardisation in the presentation of public data. This would benefit both supervisors and market participants.
