( September 11, 2026, 09:50 GMT | Official Statement) -- MLex Summary: An EU legal text easing banks’ market-risk capital requirements under Basel III has been published in the EU’s Official Journal and will apply from January 2027. The measure, which will apply for three years, introduces temporary relief, including a bank-specific multiplier to neutralize potential capital increases under the new rules. The changes aim to prevent EU banks facing a competitive disadvantage because other jurisdictions have delayed or adopted different approaches to the rules.Document attached....
