On 2 June 2026, the European Banking Authority (EBA) published an updated list of other systemically important institutions (O-SIIs), identifying banks whose failure could pose a risk to financial stability. The list, which is updated annually, includes institutions subject to additional capital buffers and supervisory measures.
The EBA's update follows its methodology for identifying O-SIIs based on size, interconnectedness, complexity, and cross-border activity. The list is used by national competent authorities to set capital buffer requirements. The update reflects changes in banks' systemic importance over the past year, with some institutions added and others removed.
The EBA's press release did not specify individual banks or the number of changes, but the full list is available on the EBA website. The update is part of the EBA's ongoing monitoring of systemic risk in the EU banking sector.
The updated list directly affects the identified banks, which must hold additional capital buffers, potentially reducing profitability. National regulators may adjust their supervisory priorities based on the list. Investors and analysts use the list to assess systemic risk in the banking sector. The update has no direct impact on consumers or non-systemic banks.
The EBA will continue to monitor systemic risk and update the list annually. National authorities will implement the corresponding capital buffer requirements.
