On November 18, 2016, the EBA published a list of public sector entities that may be treated as regional governments, local authorities or central governments when firms are calculating their capital requirements to EU public sector entities for credit risk purposes under the Capital Requirements Regulation. Exposures to the public sector entities that are included in the EBA's list will attract the same risk weight as the respective regional governments, local authorities or central governments. The EBA has compiled the list on its own initiative to enhance harmonization across the EU in this area.
The EBA's list is available at: http://www.eba.europa.eu/-/eba-publishes-list-of-public-sector-entities-for-thecalculation-of-capital-requirements .
