DNB Issued Banking Newsletter for June 2017
DNB issued the banking newsletter for June 2017. This month one of the key focus areas is strategic risk in the Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP). In the assessments of less significant institutions under the Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process, close attention will be paid to how banks deal with the strategic risks arising from their business models and profitability. DNB's review of recovery plan for small and medium-size banks is another focus area. The newsletter highlights that a number of Dutch small and medium-size banks do not yet fully meet the EBA guidelines for recovery plans.
Other focus areas include:
EBA conducts consultation and workshop in London on the 2018 EU-wide stress test methodology
Banks provide input on draft guidance on transaction monitoring and DNB plans to issue the final guidance document shortly
DNB looks at the management of fiscal risks, including aggressive tax planning and client anonymity by banks
DNB increased fixed rates for the supervision and resolution of banks as well as the implementation of Deposit Guarantee Scheme; the monitoring costs for banks will be charged based on the minimum amount of regulatory capital
DNB requires banks, payment institutions, and money transfer offices to fill out an annual online questionnaire on integrity risks in the financial sector (including money laundering and terrorist financing)
DNB updates Survey/QIS calendar for banks
