Background 2013 EU-wide Transparency Exercise

In May 2013 the EBA adjusted the timeline of the next EU-wide stress test so to conduct the exercise in 2014 once the asset quality reviews are completed. However, to ensure transparency and comparability over the years, the EBA's Board of Supervisors ("BoS") decided to provide, in the second half of 2013, appropriate disclosure on the actual exposures of the EU banking sector. In its October meeting the BoS agreed on the form and the scope of the transparency exercise to be conducted in November/December 2013 to assure a sufficient and appropriate level of information for market participants.

The sample of the exercise includes 64 banks and for each of them the following set of information was collected for disclosure:
