EBA expects Basel standard-setters to rethink software prudential rules

Banking regulator EBA has decided to soften capital impact of IT assets, but proposals are still out of line with US, according to risk.net.

The Europe-based banking regulator wishes that standard-setters in Basel will develop a global regime for the prudential treatment of software assets, as the European Union prepares to ease its own rules on the topic. 

A final draft regulatory technical standard (RTS) proposed by the European Banking Authority in October 2020 will provide some capital relief to EU-based banks, but will remain tougher than standards in the US and Switzerland, according to risk.net.
