EU delays bank market risk capital rules for three years
The European Commission is delaying new bank market risk capital rules until 2029 to align with the US and UK. This move aims to maintain a level playing field for lenders while meeting global Basel standards.
The European Commission will delay new market risk capital requirements for banks by three years to ensure alignment with international standards. The decision follows delays in the United States and the United Kingdom as those jurisdictions finalize their own Basel III implementations. The move is explicitly designed to avoid putting European banks at a competitive disadvantage against global peers while regulatory approaches remain unclear.
