PRA publishes measures to help mid-size credit institutions

ThePRA is planning some adjustments to its Basel 3.1 implementation to better help mid-size banks and building societies while maintaining market stability.

The changes affect the Fundamental Review of the Trading Book, and the BoE is consulting on changes that would implement almost all of Basel 3.1 on time, but would set the date for the introduction of the new internal model approach to market risk to 1 January 2028.

It will also allow the Strong and Simple regime to proceed on 1 January 2027, and plans shortly to consult on how to help mid-size banks compete in the mortgage markets.

The current consultation closes on 5 September.
