The European Banking Authority (EBA) launched today a consultation on its draft Guidelines specifying the application of the definition of default. The work is in line with an EBA Discussion Paper on the topic published earlier in the year which described the EBA's upcoming work on improving consistency and comparability in capital requirements. The consultation runs until 22 January 2016 and the EBA is also asking the public for feedback on a Quantitative Impact Assessment (QIS) of the Guidelines.
