✨ Pillar 3 Disclosure and Climate Transition Risk: where do we stand?✨ With rising demand for ESG information, the European Banking Authority (EBA) now requires large banks to disclose ESG risks starting from 2023, with plans to include Less Significant Institutions. These disclosures, part of Pillar 3, were enhanced in 2024 with new templates detailing the Green Asset Ratio (GAR)🌿, showing the proportion of "green" exposures as per the European Taxonomy. 🔍Our analysis of 55 banks across 16 countries focuses on transition risks: 📈 WACI: The European average is 46 grams/euro, slightly up from 2022. Notably, the Netherlands has increased WACI due to a new bank's high exposure to carbon-intensive sectors. Austria maintains the lowest WACI at 18 grams/euro, and Italy stays well below the average. 📊 GAR: The average GAR is 5%, with Italy notably lower at 2%. Current GAR metrics may underrepresent banks with significant SME portfolios not subject to NFRD regulations. 🏠 Energy performance of collateral properties: A challenge remains in obtaining energy certifications for collateral properties, especially older ones. Lithuania and the Netherlands lead with over 50% certification, while Germany and Cyprus lag. Efforts are underway to standardize Energy Performance Certificates across Europe. 🌍 Future Developments: From June 2024, Pillar 3 reports will include the BTAR measure, which, alongside GAR, aims to provide a comprehensive view of banks' management of climate and transition risks. Regulatory efforts are enhancing data standardization and digitization, improving transparency and accessibility. ➡️ Read full article: https://lnkd.in/dt7j8QDE Francesca Bedetti @Martina Del Monte Sofia Maria Lauriola
