EBA publishes work programme for 2020

10 October 2019

The European Banking Authority published its detailed annual work programme for 2020, describing the specific activities and tasks of the Authority for the coming year and highlighting the key strategic areas of work for 2020.

The EBA’s work programme planning exercise is paramount for the implementation of its strategy and the prioritisation of tasks that goes hand in hand with resource allocation. The EBA’s work programme comprises its annual and multi-annual work programmes.

The 2020-2022 multi-annual work programme is defined by the strategic priorities that the EBA has proposed for the forthcoming years, and summarises the main objectives derived from the mandates specified in the regulation and from the relevant EU banking sector legislation.

Each strategic area is complemented by annual work programme activities that detail the tasks to be delivered within the year and the resources needed for that purpose. These provide transparency and accountability to the EBA’s stakeholders, serving to internally link the dayto-day work and processes to strategic areas.

Supporting the deployment of the risk reduction package and the implementation of the global standards in the EU

In 2020, the EBA will focus on six strategic areas:

• Support the development of the risk reduction package and the implementation of the global standards in the EU;
• Providing efficient methodologies and tools for supervisory convergence and stress testing;
• Moving towards an integrated EU data hub and a streamlined reporting framework;
• Making AML a real priority for the EU;
• Contributing to the sound development of financial innovation and sustainability;
• Promoting an operational framework for resolution.

The Executive Summary of the EBA work programme for 2020 is also available in all EU official languages.
