EBA publishes roadmap on the delivery of its mandates under DGSD3

The European Banking Authority (EBA) has published a roadmap setting out how it will deliver its mandates under the revised EU Deposit Guarantee Schemes Directive 2026/804 (DGSD3). The reforms are part of a package seeking to strengthen the EU bank crisis management framework by opening the possibility to use DGS funds in resolution. The EBA will develop 12 regulatory products over the next three years, structured in phased batches, to support implementation of DGSD3 ahead of its application in May 2028. These relate to matters such as:

• Improving depositor information.
• Ensuring faster repayment in both domestic and cross border bank failures.
• The calculation of DGS funds and contributions, and the process to reach the target level.
• Conditions when the cap on contributions of DGS funds to resolution can be lifted.
• Enhancing cooperation between national deposit guarantee schemes and authorities.
• Strengthening stress testing frameworks to ensure crisis preparedness.
• Conditions for the use of DGS in preventative measures.
