The European Banking Authority just updated its market risk benchmarking standards. Here’s what it means for EU credit institutions.

1️⃣ European Banking Authority (EBA) — Consultation Paper on amending ITS on the 2027 market risk benchmarking exercise
The regulator published a detailed consultation paper to update the implementing technical standards for the 2027 market risk benchmarking exercise.
This development impacts all credit institutions and large-scale investment firms subject to market risk reporting and internal model requirements within the European Union.
Affected entities must review the proposed technical amendments and submit formal feedback during the consultation window to shape the final standards.

2️⃣ Bafin — Dermapharm Holding SE: Bafin leitet Prüfung des Konzernabschlusses 2025 und des zugehörigen Lageberichts ein
The German financial regulator has launched a formal examination of the 2025 consolidated financial statements and the management report for Dermapharm Holding SE.
This action directly impacts the named issuer but also serves as a critical signal to all listed companies regarding the intensity of financial reporting scrutiny.
The regulator will now assess compliance with accounting frameworks and may proceed with enforcement measures if inaccuracies are discovered during the process.

3️⃣ Home Office — First groups designated as threat to national security
The UK Home Office has designated the first organizations as a formal threat to national security under recently expanded legislative powers.
This designation directly hits the named groups and triggers immediate legal prohibitions regarding their financial transactions, operational capabilities, and general public activities.
Law enforcement agencies and national intelligence services will now move to actively enforce these designations while maintaining heightened surveillance for additional security risks.

4️⃣ ACM — Besluit databemiddelingsdienst onder de Data Governance Act Stichting Nederlandse Datakluis
The Dutch Authority for Consumers and Markets issued an administrative decision regarding the registration of a data intermediation service under the Data Governance Act.
This regulatory move hits digital platform operators and data-sharing organizations aiming to provide neutral data services within the evolving European digital economy.
Organizations in this sector must now verify that their internal governance and operational structures satisfy the rigorous transparency and independence standards mandated by the new act.

5️⃣ CNMC — CNMC appeals several articles of the Balearic Islands decree on taxi and VTC services for restricting competition
The Spanish National Markets and Competition Commission has initiated a legal appeal against several specific articles of a regional decree governing taxi and VTC services.
This action impacts transport service providers and regional regulatory bodies by challenging rules that the commission believes are restricting free competition in the urban mobility market.
The judicial system will now determine the legality of these articles, which may ultimately require the regional government to repeal or amend its current transport regulations.
