Draft Guide to qualifying holding procedures

On 28 September 2022, the European Central Bank (ECB) will launch a public consultation on the draft Guide to qualifying holding procedures.

The guide aims to clarify how the ECB assesses applications to acquire qualifying holdings in banks in order to increase the transparency of this process for market participants. It builds on the applicable legal framework and on the experience gained over the years in assessing this type of transactions.

The guide explains who is obliged to undergo qualifying holding assessments, the documentation required to apply and how the ECB assesses these transactions. It also provides information on complex acquisition structures, the application of the principle of proportionality and specific procedural elements.

Deadline for submitting comments: midnight CET on 9 November 2022.

Only comments received before this deadline will be considered.
