EBA updates SREP Guidelines with explicit AML/CFT references

In March, the EBA published its revised Guidelines on common procedures and methodologies for the supervisory review and evaluation process (EBA SREP Guidelines).

The revised Guidelines reflect changes to the EU’s legal framework. They also set out how prudential supervisors should take ML/TF risks into account in SREP, in line with the EBA's Opinion on ML/TF risks in SREP.

Considering the potential detrimental effect of ML/TF risks on the institutions’ financial soundness, the revised framework proposes an integrated approach to factor ML/TF risks from a prudential perspective in the relevant SREP areas and to foster cooperation between prudential and AML/CFT authorities, while avoiding duplications or interference between supervisory measures. Such framework has been set up to enhance the overall supervisory view on institutions, their viability, and risks.

The final revised SREP Guidelines will enter into force on 1 January 2023.
