Banks Don't Need Extra Crypto Protections Yet, EU Regulator Says
April 29, 2022--The European Banking Authority said it will start work this year to map out crypto activities and spot new financial risks.
Banks' exposures to crypto aren't yet big enough to warrant extra protections designed to limit risks to the overall economy, the European Banking Authority said.
Crypto markets are too small and their regulation too immature to move ahead, the Paris-based watchdog said, after being asked by the European Commission whether to expand an existing regulatory toolkit for macroprudential risks to areas like cyber security, climate change and crypto.

Owning up to sustainability risks: the EU should champion international standards
April 26, 2022--To keep European Union capital markets open and integrated, new international standards should be reflected in future European law and accounting practice to provide further incentives for a reallocation of capital, reflecting in particular climate risks.
The publication in late March of proposals by the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) put the European Union's own agenda on corporate disclosures under the spotlight once again. The ISSB is part of the international accounting body IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards), which has already defined a global standard for financial statements. The ISSB sustainability disclosure standards could similarly become a global benchmark. This could address financial stability risks, given that the impact of the climate emergency may not have been properly reflected in asset values.
A new EU model for corporate sustainability disclosures was published last year and will also be finalised in the coming months.
