On July 9, 2026, the European Banking Authority (EBA) published the final technical package for version 4.3 of its reporting framework. The package implements new reporting requirements for Third-Country Branches (TCBs) under the Capital Requirements Directive (CRD) and supports a risk assessment data collection exercise by the Anti-Money Laundering Authority (AMLA). The final technical package provides standard specifications, including validation rules, the data point model (DPM), and XBRL taxonomies to support two key reporting obligations. First, it implements final draft Implementing Technical Standards (ITS) on the supervisory reporting of TCBs in accordance with Article 48l(1) of the CRD, with a first reference date of March 31, 2027. Second, it introduces DPM and taxonomy components supporting AMLA's risk assessment reporting methodology to identify obliged entities falling under AMLA's direct supervision, with a first reference date of December 31, 2026. The EBA also published a new Glossary Usage Exploration file accompanying the reporting framework. This file provides a structured, user-friendly view of glossary content and its use across the reporting framework, allowing users to explore concepts, definitions, and their relationships within the DPM. The file aims to facilitate interpretation of reporting requirements, support impact assessments, and contribute to consistent understanding of the semantic model underpinning the EBA reporting framework. The final version incorporates feedback received from stakeholders, including industry representatives, following review of the draft package published on April 17, 2026. The EBA may issue a targeted update ("hotfix") at the end of September 2026 should any critical clarifications or adjustments be required following early implementation feedback.
