Banking package

Laws and regulations

Published: 05 September 2019

The Banking Package is a collective name for the review of the Capital Requirements Directive (CRD), the Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR), the Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive (BRRD) and the Single Resolution Mechanism Regulation (SRMR).

It was published in the EU Official Journal on 7 June 2019. The aim of the Banking Package is to reduce risks in the banking sector and strengthen the banking union. Another review is currently being prepared for the implementation of Final Basel III3.5.

Timelines

The revised CRD, BRRD and SRMR will apply 18 months after the date of entry into force (27 June 2019). The revised CRR will apply 24 months after the date of entry into force (27 June 2019). However, there are a significant number of exceptions to these general timelines. For example, some provisions of the CRR have already applied since 27 June 2019. See Article 3 of the revised CRR, Article 2 of the revised CRD, Article 2 of the revised SRMR and Article 3 of the revised BRRD.
