Delegated Regulation Published Supplementing EU Capital Requirements Regulation on Identifying Groups of Connected Clients

Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2024/1728 has been published in the Official Journal of the European Union, supplementing the EU Capital Requirements Regulation with regard to regulatory technical standards specifying in which circumstances the conditions for identifying groups of connected clients are met. The definition of a group of connected clients in the CRR makes it possible to identify two or more natural or legal persons who are so closely linked by idiosyncratic risk factors that it is prudent to treat them as a single risk. Consequently, the purpose of the RTS is to set out clear circumstances where interconnections between clients by means of a control relationship and/or an economic dependency relationship lead to a single risk and thus a requirement to group those clients. The Delegated Regulation enters into force on July 8, 20 days after publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
