If the results of the EBA benchmarking study are correct, and as far as the test portfolio instruments are representative, the internal market risk models currently used by European banks would strongly violate the Level Playing Field Principle ('If different banks hold the same portfolio, they should be required to hold the same amount of regulatory capital'). In this analysis, the author presents the EBA results in a non-technical language, and assess the robustness and validity of the study itself, highlighting problematic issues in EBA’s methodological approach. Furthermore, the author discusses which follow-up actions European Parliament's ECON Committee Members might consider. |
