COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2025/878

of 3 February 2025

amending the regulatory technical standards laid down in Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/2059, Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/2060 and Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/1577 as regards the technical details of back-testing and profit and loss attribution requirements, the criteria for assessing the modellability of risk factors, and the treatment of foreign-exchange risk and commodity risk in the non-trading book

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2013 on prudential requirements for credit institutions and amending Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 ( 1 ) , and in particular Article 325(9), third subparagraph, Article 325be(3), third subparagraph, Article 325bf(9), third subparagraph, and Article 325bg(4), third subparagraph, thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Regulation (EU) 2024/1623 of the European Parliament and of the Council ( 2 ) amended some provisions of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013, to introduce a small number of remaining BCBS requirements that had not been implemented in the previous banking package and some clarifications to the already existing requirements. Those amendments should therefore be reflected in Commission Delegated Regulations (EU) 2022/2059 ( 3 ) , (EU) 2022/2060 ( 4 ) and (EU) 2023/1577 ( 5 ) , supplementing Regulation (EU) No 575/2013.

(2)

To ensure a clearer alignment with the BCBS international standards and to additional amendments introduced in Union law by Regulation (EU) 2024/1623, it is necessary to amend Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/2059 to specify that green zone desks, as classified in accordance with that Regulation, should be considered to have close theoretical and hypothetical changes in the portfolio’s value, and yellow trading desks to have sufficiently close, but not close, theoretical and hypothetical changes in the portfolio’s value. Red and orange zone desks should instead be considered to have theoretical and hypothetical changes in the portfolio’s value that are neither close nor sufficiently close.

(3)

It is necessary to amend Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/2059 to remove the aggregation formula, currently laid down in Article 16 of that Delegated Regulation, which is now laid down in Article 325ba(3) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013.

(4)

To support competent authorities in their assessment on whether to allow institutions to use market data provided by third-party vendors in the assessment of modellability of risk factors in accordance with Article 325be(1), second subparagraph, of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013, it is necessary to adjust the documentation requirements laid down in Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/2060.

(5)

To ensure additional clarity on the calculation of the own funds requirements for market risk in relation to non-trading book positions, institutions should have clear policies outlining which are the trading desks in charge of managing those positions, and they should be able to identify whether the foreign exchange positions just relate to translation risk. It is therefore necessary to amend Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/1577 to ensure that those objectives are achieved.

(6)

This Regulation is based on the draft regulatory technical standards submitted to the Commission by the European Banking Authority.

(7)

The European Banking Authority has conducted open public consultations on the draft regulatory technical standards on which this Regulation is based, analysed the potential related costs and benefits and requested the advice of the Banking Stakeholder Group established in accordance with Article 37 of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council ( 6 ) .

(8)

The empowerments contained in Article 325(9), third subparagraph, Article 325be(3), third subparagraph, Article 325bf(9), third subparagraph, and Article 325bg(4), third subparagraph of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 aim to further specify technical elements to be used by the banks in their calculation of their own funds requirements for market risk under the alternative internal model approach. As those empowerments are closely linked by their subject matter, the amendments proposed in this Regulation provide a complete view of all of the necessary changes to alternative internal models following the adoption of Regulation (EU) 2024/1623 and should, thus, be bundled in this Regulation,
