The EBA publishes the final technical package for its 4.1 Reporting Framework
The European Banking Authority (EBA) has published the final technical package for its 4.1 Reporting Framework, aimed at supporting the identification and assessment of significant crypto asset service providers and the development of the Pillar 3 data hub. This package facilitates both the supervisory assessment of such providers and the centralization of institutions’ prudential disclosures within the EBA Pillar 3 data hub. The centralized hub is intended to improve accessibility and usability of this information for all users, including institutions. The new reporting framework will apply from the second half of 2025.
The final technical package provides standard specifications, including validation rules, the data point model (DPM), and XBRL taxonomies to support the following reporting obligations:
- Pillar 3 templates included in the comprehensive Implementing Technical Standards (ITS) on Pillar 3 disclosures, for use in the Pillar 3 data hub.
- Own-initiative guidelines on the reporting of data that competent authorities require for supervisory tasks and significance assessments (MiCAR Reporting Guidelines).
- Integration of Instant Payments reporting ITS into the DPM and taxonomy.
- A series of validation rules added to the ESG ad-hoc data collection module.
EBA 4.1 background and next steps
A draft version of the EBA 4.1 technical package was published at the end of March 2025. The final version released today includes corrections and reflects feedback received from stakeholders during the consultation period. In June 2024, the EBA outlined its plan for implementing DPM 2.0. The technical package for version 4.1 continues this transition, including a version of the data dictionary content in both the current DPM 1.0 format and the new DPM 2.0 format, as previously announced.
The FAQs published in December 2024 remain a useful reference for understanding the transition to DPM 2.0 and the introduction of the new glossary. Additionally, the EBA is providing a presentation explaining the use of the DPM-XL language for validation rules.
