EBA Publishes Pillar 3 Peer Review Findings, Calls for Greater Supervisory Consistency
The European Banking Authority (EBA) has published the results of its targeted Peer Review assessing how national competent authorities supervise compliance with Pillar 3 disclosure requirements under the Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR) and the Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive (BRRD). The review concludes that supervisory practices across the EU are generally effective, while identifying opportunities to improve consistency and convergence across jurisdictions.
Key Findings
The review evaluated supervisory practices between 1 June 2023 and 30 June 2025 across four core areas:
1.Integration of Pillar 3 requirements into supervisory frameworks
2.Review of institutions’ disclosure governance and internal controls
3.Assessment of disclosure quality and regulatory templates
4.Enforcement actions addressing disclosure deficiencies
According to the EBA, most competent authorities have fully or largely integrated Pillar 3 requirements into their supervisory processes, demonstrating a high level of supervisory maturity. Four authorities were recognised for implementing particularly advanced supervisory practices.
However, the review also identified variations in supervisory approaches:
1.One authority was assessed as partially compliant, with remediation efforts already underway.
2.Another authority received predominantly not applied ratings due to the absence of formal methodologies for assessing Pillar 3 compliance, reflecting a lower supervisory prioritisation of disclosure-related risks.
Why It Matters
The findings reinforce the increasing regulatory focus on high-quality, consistent, and transparent prudential disclosures across the European banking sector. As disclosure requirements continue to evolve under CRR3 and related reporting initiatives, financial institutions should expect greater supervisory scrutiny of governance, controls, and disclosure processes.
For banks, this means ensuring that:
1.Pillar 3 reporting processes are supported by robust governance and internal controls.
2.Disclosure data is accurate, consistent, and traceable across reporting frameworks.
3.Regulatory reporting workflows can adapt efficiently to evolving supervisory expectations.
