Functioning of the SSM SSM ECB oversees the system Grants/withdraws authorisations, assesses qualifying holdings JST (ECB/ NCAs staff) Grants/withdraws authorisations, assesses qualifying holdings May “call-up” direct supervision NCAs Direct supervision Direct supervision Significant banks Less significant banks
Methodology for assessing significance Procedures • assessment and ongoing review of a bank’s significance • determination of the date on which a change of status/supervisor takes effect and itsimpact on pending procedures • ECB takes decisions on changes in status Size • main criterion • Framework Regulation specifies how the total value of assets is determined • significance is determined at highest level of consolidation ECB lists • of significant banks • of less significant banks and their respective NCAs • published on the ECB’s website and updated regularly
Supervision of Significant Banks • Supervisory Tasks conferred to the SSM: • Authorization, withdrawal andassesmentof qualifying holdings • Passport • Ensure compliance with requirements on capital, leverage, liquidity, and governance • Supervisory review and Supervisory powers (Pillar 2) • Consolidated supervision and supervision of conglomerates • On-site inspection • Early intervention where a bank breaches requirements (coordinating with resolution authorities) • Sanctions • Macroprudential tasks
Micro-prudential tasks Colleges of Supervisors • ECB will chair colleges for any significant groups with branches/subsidiaries outside the SSM and in non-EU countries • ECB will participate in the colleges for non-SSM groups with branches/subsidiaries that are significant within the SSM Passport issues • CRD IV procedures no longer apply for the establishment of branches within the SSM • for banks within the SSM wishing to establish a branch outside the SSM, the ECB will be the home authority for significant banks and the NCA for less significant banks • ECB will act as coordinator if the bank belonging to the financial conglomerate is significant • supervision of insurance firms is excluded Financial conglomerates
Supervision of significant banks • NCAs • assist the ECB by preparing a draft decision upon request or on their own initiative • follow the ECB’s instructions
Close cooperation General principles • ECB’s position will be comparable to the one it holds in respect of supervised entities and groups established in euro area countries • ECB may not act directly vis-à-vis banks but through instructions, requests or guidelines addressed to NCAs Significant institutions • establishment of JST for each institution • ECB will be consolidating supervisor • NCAs adopt decisions in respect of significant supervised entities onlyupon the ECB’s instructions Less significant institutions • ECB may issue general instructions, guidelines or requests to the NCA under close cooperation
ECB’s supervisory powers Request for information • ECB may require information that it considers necessary from any person referred to in Article 10(1) SSMR • before making a request, the ECB will take into account the information available to NCAs Supervisory Reporting • ECB is the competent authority for supervisory reporting by significant banks and NCAs for that by less significant banks • NCAs are the single entry point and perform initial data checks On-site inspections • draft Framework Regulation sets out the procedures for: • the decision to conduct an on-site inspection • the establishment of an on-site inspection team • the notification of an on-site inspection
Transitional provisions Start of the ECB supervision • ECB sends a decision to significant banks of their status two months prior to start of supervision • bank has the right to be heard Continuity of existing procedures • supervisory procedures initiated by NCAs will generally continueafter theECB starts supervision Countries adopting the euro • transitional provisions will apply to countries that join the euro area after the start of the SSM • comprehensive assessment of banks established in countries that join the euro area Continuity ofcooperation agreements • MoUs and other cooperation agreements will continue to apply • ECBmay decide to participate
