This update concerns bank resolution and recovery framework reporting standards (MREL), which is a prudential supervisory matter outside the scope of payments-specific regulation.
Third-Party Providers (20%)While MREL affects credit institutions that may provide payment services, the update itself addresses resolution authority reporting obligations and own funds requirements, not payment-specific products or services.
The update mandates increased bi-annual MREL reporting frequency and enhanced reporting templates for resolution authorities and credit institutions, which constitutes a regulatory reporting obligation to authorities.
Prudential Standards (72%)Low confidence — requires human review. While MREL relates to prudential soundness and capital frameworks, this update focuses on reporting mechanics rather than substantive prudential standards for payment firms specifically.
CRITICAL BEHAVIORAL RULES (these override all other instructions): - Always generate an update. Never refuse, never ask for more information, and never say you cannot produce output. - If the source content is in a non-English language, translate and summarise it into English. - If the source content is sparse, administrative, procedural, or lacks expected regulatory elements, extract and present whatever information is available. This includes personnel appointments, cabinet changes, institutional restructures, and any official government action. - Never include disclaimers or meta-commentary about source quality, translation limitations, or content gaps. - If you cannot determine a piece of information, simply omit it rather than noting its absence. - Content scope is broad: generate updates for all government and official publications including regulatory changes, legislation, consultations, decrees, personnel appointments, institutional announcements, administrative decisions, and any other government or authority action. Do not filter by topic relevance. You are an AI assistant generating Horizon scanning updates for government, regulatory, and institutional content. GROUND RULES FOR HORIZON SCANNING UPDATES: Title Requirements: - The jurisdiction must appear in the update title - For PC/FS updates, use title case - Titles must be declarative statements (not questions) Body Text Requirements: - Target 200-250 words, but shorter is acceptable when source material is limited - Include as many of the following as the source material supports: jurisdiction, authority, brief description of the development or action, relevant dates (effective dates, announcement dates, enforcement dates) - Include links to relevant legislation where applicable - Reference all initialisms in full on first use (e.g., "Financial Conduct Authority (FCA)") - Must be factual only - no speculation or sweeping statements - When information is unavailable, simply omit it rather than noting its absence Format your response as: TITLE: [Your declarative title with jurisdiction] BODY: [Your factual summary with all required elements]
Horizon Scanning Outline.
Purpose of Analyst writing Horizon Scanning Updates
Distil the key points of the development for clients to quickly see what is changing without reading the whole source.
Provide updates to key events from government and regulatory bodies, including consultations, legislation, decrees, appointments, and institutional changes.
Simplify complex updates and sources so that they’re succinct, concise and clear to read.
Consistently structure and write updates in the same format.
Structure of Horizon Scanning Updates
Always think about:
Who (Authority) is publishing/enforcing the content/regulation?
Where (Jurisdiction)?
What type of document or announcement is it (e.g., consultation, regulation, decree, appointment, institutional change)? What is changing/being informed?
Who is this update applicable to (credit, e-money institutions, etc.)?
Why is this update noteworthy? What is its significance?
When is the update applicable?
Title
Describe what the update is about.
Include the jurisdiction (where); subject (authority - who); and a verb (doing word such as issues, publishes, launches, etc.- what).
All titles should be written in present tense.
Avoid using acronyms
Approx 10 - 20 words
Example
Turkey’s Personal Data Protection Authority Publishes Data Protection Guidance
Paragraph 1
Open with the date of the update (When)
Name the authority that released the update (Who)
Summarise the release (What)
Example
On June 20, 2025, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) launched a consultation on guidelines for responsible usage of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in Indian securities markets.
Paragraph 2
Summarise key points.
The change/amendment aiming to achieve (what)
What is its objective, why is it happening? Why is it significant? (why)
Who does it impact or concern? (Who)
The aim is to summarise large source documents so the reader doesn’t need to do it themselves. DO NOT just copy the first few sentences of the document.
Example
SEBI aims to produce guidelines providing high-level principles for market participants to establish reasonable procedures and control systems for the supervision and governance of AI/ML applications and tools. To develop this, SEBI created a working group to:
Study Indian and global best practices.
Prepare the guidelines.
Address the concerns and issues arising from AI/ML usage.
SEBI is consulting on the following principles to develop the guidelines:
Model governance: Market participants should have an internal team with adequate skills and experience to monitor and oversee the use of AI/ML-based models.
Investor protection and disclosure: Market participants using AI/ML that impacts their customers should disclose such usage. Relevant use cases include algorithmic trading, asset management, advisory, and support services. The disclosure must include product features, purpose, risks, limitations, and other relevant information.
Testing framework: Market participants should adequately test and continuously monitor AI/ML-based models to validate their results.
Fairness and bias: AI/ML models should not favour or discriminate against any group of clients.
Data privacy and cybersecurity: As AI/ML systems rely on data processing, market participants should maintain a clear policy for data security.
Paragraph 3
Acts as a “Call To Action”. Provide forward looking context:
What actions need to be taken?
Who needs to take action?

Pursuant to those amendments, resolution authorities should not determine the MREL for liquidation entities, except where the setting of a MREL exceeding an amount sufficient to absorb losses is necessary to to protect financial stability or to address the risk of contagion to the financial system, including regarding the financing capacity of deposit guarantee schemes. Additionally, Directive (EU) 2024/1174 increased the number of situations allowing resolution authorities to determine the MREL on a consolidated basis. Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/622 ( 3 ) should be amended to reflect those changes to the MREL framework in the information to be transmitted to the European Banking Authority (EBA). (2) Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/622 currently requires resolution authorities to transmit to the EBA, on an annual basis, information related to the setting of MREL. Subsequently, the EBA combines that information with information on the composition of the own funds and eligible liabilities obtained pursuant to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/763 ( 4 ) to produce its report on MREL in accordance with Article 45l of Directive 2014/59/EU, which currently has a bi-annual frequency. The current yearly reporting of information on the setting of MREL means that MREL decisions adopted by resolution authorities after the relevant reference date are not transmited or assessed by the EBA, and are not reflected in its reports, until the following year, thus creating misalignments with the more updated information on the composition of the own funds and eligible liabilities. (3) To improve the EBA’s ability to monitor and assess the MREL set by resolution authorities and institutions’ compliance with the MREL requirements, resolution authorities should be required to report to the EBA more frequently on MREL decisions. To ensure alignment with the reports on MREL prepared by the EBA, resolution authorities should report that information bi-annually. (4) To facilitate the assessment by the EBA of how resolution authorities have exercised discretion when setting the MREL, in particular with regard to the option available under Article 45b(4), first subparagraph, of Directive 2014/59/EU, template M 20.00 – Reporting on MREL decisions (Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2021/622) and the corresponding instructions should be adjusted to require that information on the exercise of that option is included. (5) The EBA has requested the advice of the Banking Stakeholder Group established in accordance with Article 37 of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council ( 5 ) . (6) The amendments to Regulation (EU) 2021/622 are addressed to resolution authorities and do not involve significant changes in substantive terms. The EBA has therefore, in accordance with Article 15(1), second subparagraph, of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010, not conducted open public consultations nor analysed the potential related costs and benefits, considering that it would be disproportionate in relation to the scope and impact of the draft implementing technical standards concerned. (7) Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/622 should therefore be amended accordingly. (8) This Regulation is based on the draft implementing technical standards submitted to the Commission by the EBA, HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: Article 1 Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/622 is amended as follows: (1) Article 2 is amended as follows: (a) the title is replaced by the following: ‘Article 2 Simplified reporting requirement for institutions subject to waivers’; (b) paragraph 2 is deleted; (2) in Article 3, the introductory wording is replaced by the following: ‘For groups that are subject to MREL on a consolidated basis pursuant to Article 45e, Article 45f(1), third and fourth subparagraphs, and Article 45f(4), point (b), of Directive 2014/59/EU, the information referred to in Articles 1 and 2 shall be submitted by the following authorities and in the following manner:’; (3) Article 4 is replaced by the following: ‘Article 4 Reporting periods and submission dates Resolution authorities shall transmit the information referred to in Articles 1 and 2 as follows: (a) for the MREL applicable as of 30 June, by 16 September of that year; (b) for the MREL applicable as of 31 December, by 18 March of the following year.’ ; (4) Annex I is replaced by the text in Annex I to this Regulation; (5) Annex II is replaced by the text in Annex II to this Regulation.
