To ensure that the stock indices listed in the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 945/2014 continue to meet the conditions for their specific risk to be ignored, the relevant indices have been reassessed in light of the latest available data, which relative to 2018. In light of that reassessment, it is necessary to update the list of relevant appropriately diversified indices. Regulation 2020/125 is based on the draft implementing technical standards submitted by EBA to EC.
