Supervisory Disclosure


The particularly important role of supervisory transparency was highlighted by both the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and the EU legal provisions in the field (Directive 2013/36/EU  on access to the activity of credit institutions and the prudential supervision of credit institutions and investment firms, amending Directive 2002/87/EC and repealing Directives 2006/48/EC and 2006/49/EC. Article 143(1) of Directive 2013/36/EU stipulates explicit disclosure requirements for the supervisory authorities in EU Member States in order to ensure uniformity and to enable a meaningful compararability of the disclosed information.

To this end, the European Banking Authority (EBA)  designed a standardised web structure of disclosure requirements for the supervisory authorities in EU Member States and developed the technical standards for the implementation of the disclosure requirements laid down in Article 143(1) with regard to the format, structure, contents list and annual publication date . The templates in this section must be implemented in an identical manner on the website of each supervisory authority. The EBA website  is an electronic register of centralised data allowing the quick and easy comparison of all relevant information, whereas the websites of the national supervisory authorities will provide exhaustive and detailed data, in compliance with the requirements set forth by Directive 2013/36/EU.

This page was created to comply with the disclosure requirements for information on prudential supervision and to enable the access to information on the implementation in Romania of Basel II  and, subsequently, Basel III .

Pursuant to the provisions of Article 143(1) of Directive 2013/36/EU, the general disclosure requirements for information on prudential supervision are organised into four sections:

Rules and Guidance

This section comprises the text of laws, regulations, administrative rules and general guidance adopted in Romania, in the field of prudential regulation of the activity of institutions subject to prudential supervision in Romania.

Options and National Discretions

Directive 2013/36/EU and CRR 575/2013 set forth a significant number of options (for the supervisory authorities and institutions subject to supervision in a Member State) the exercise of which depends on every country’s specificities.

This section presents the manner of exercise, in line with the national regulatory framework, of the national options and the mutual recognition of the various treatments related to the exercising of these options by the other Member States.
