The European Banking Authority (EBA) has published new harmonized reporting standards aimed at enhancing the oversight of banking branches established in third countries. These standards seek to improve data consistency and supervisory effectiveness across jurisdictions.

The new framework supports supervisors in monitoring the activities of foreign branches and ensures a more uniform approach to reporting requirements within the EU.
