What they argued
Febelfin, the Belgian Financial Sector Federation, endorses the position paper submitted by the European Banking Federation (EBF) on the SFDR Revision Proposal and calls on co-legislators to consider the EBFs recommended amendments. We share the EBFs overall positive assessment of the Commissions proposal and support its key recommendations.
Febelfin wishes to express support for the general messages of the Commission Communication on the Competitiveness of the Banking Sector and the Single Market in Banking. The Communications acknowledgement of the strategic role of the banking sector is very positive.
The European banking sector plays a central role in financing Europes strategic priorities, from innovation and sustainability to defence and digital transformation. As Europes economy remains predominantly bank-financed, banks are not only enablers but key drivers of Europes competitiveness and strategic autonomy.
The Belgian Financial Sector Federation recognises and welcomes the efforts of the European Commission to implement the fundamentals of the final Basel III standard while considering European specificities in the EU Banking Package proposal.
Febelfin welcome the proposal for legislating instant credit transfers (SCT Inst). SCT Inst are an important building block of the future EU payments market. Statistics show SCT Inst are already widely adopted and offered in Belgium. Today about half of Belgian institutions offering credit transfers, offer SCT Inst, these cover 96,5 % of all payment accounts in Belgium.
Febelfin, the Federation of the Belgian Financial Sector, has assessed the Commissions proposal for a Payment Services Regulation in detail and welcomes some necessary updates that can ensure that the legislative framework reflects the current state of the payments market, provided that some important elements are integrated, most notably on fraud (prevention) and liability and open banking.
We generally view favourably the EC proposals for amending the eligibility conditions for securitisations in the liquidity buffer of credit institutions. Combined with the proposals regarding CRR and the Securitisation Regulation, they make it more attractive for banks to diversify the LCR portfolios towards securitisations in the Level 2B bucket.
