On 9 November 2026, the European Banking Authority issued the final methodology, draft templates and template guidance for its 2027 EU-wide stress test, together with the key milestones for the exercise. The 2027 exercise will also include, for the first time, a dedicated module assessing climate-related risks. The 2027 EU-wide stress test will formally start in January 2027, following the release of the macroeconomic and climate scenarios, with the results scheduled for publication by the end of July 2027. Compared with the previous exercise, the number of required data points has been reduced by 55%, mainly by streamlining the templates and relying more closely on regular supervisory reporting concepts, particularly in credit risk.
