The banking newsletter focuses on the new European regulatory package aimed to reduce the risks in the banking sector and to build in more proportionality. The regulatory package includes revisions to capital requirements regulation and directive (CRR/CRD), Banking Recovery and Resolution Directive (BRRD), and Single Resolution Mechanism Regulation (SRMR). DNB is also consulting on specific provisions related to CRD IV and CRR, which will run until August 01, 2019.
