The European Commission has adopted an implementing regulation to update the list of closely correlated currencies in the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2197. This amendment ensures that the currency pairs continue to reflect actual correlations by applying the established methodology to a new data series ending on 31 March 2025. The changes are based on draft technical standards from the European Banking Authority and enter into force on the twentieth day following publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
EN EN EUROPEAN COMMISSION Brussels, XXX … XXX draft COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) …/... of XXX amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/1718 with regard to closely correlated currencies in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (Text with EEA relevance)
EN 2 EN COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No …/.. of XXX amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2197 with regard to closely correlated currencies in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (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 648/20121 , and in particular Article 354(3), third subparagraph, thereof, Whereas: (1) In order to ensure that the currency pairs referred to in the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/21972 continue to reflect the actual correlation between the relevant currencies, it is necessary to update the list of closely correlated currencies. The list uses 31 March 2025 as the end date for the purpose of computing the three and five year data series required to assess the currency pairs in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 575/2013. (2) Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2197 should therefore be amended accordingly. (3) This Regulation is based on the draft implementing technical standards submitted by the European Banking Authority (EBA) to the Commission. (4) The amendments to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2197 do not involve significant changes in substantive terms, but merely apply the methodology already established in that Regulation to an updated data series. In accordance with Article 15(1), second subparagraph, of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council3 , EBA has therefore neither conducted an open public consultation on the draft implementing technical standards on which this Regulation is based, nor analysed the potential related costs and benefits, considering that such a consultation or analysis would be highly disproportionate in relation to the scope and impact of the draft implementing technical standards concerned. EBA requested the advice of the Banking Stakeholder Group established in accordance with Article 37 of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010. 1 OJ L 176, 27.6.2013, p. 1. 2 Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2197 of 27 November 2015 laying down implementing technical standards with regard to closely correlated currencies in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (OJ L 313, 28.11.2015, p. 30) 3 Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 November 2010 establishing a European Supervisory Authority (European Banking Authority), amending Decision No 716/2009/EC and repealing Commission Decision 2009/78/EC (OJ L 331, 15.12.2010, p. 12).
