EZB-Leitfaden für interne Modelle: Strategische Orientierung für Banken in der neuen Regulierungslandschaft

July 29, 2025
8 Min.

Die Juli-2025-Revision des EZB-Leitfadens verpflichtet Banken, interne Modelle strategisch neu auszurichten. Kernpunkte: 1) Künstliche Intelligenz und Machine Learning sind zulässig, jedoch nur in erklärbarer Form und unter strenger Governance. 2) Das Top-Management trägt explizit die Verantwortung für Qualität und Compliance aller Modelle. 3) CRR3-Vorgaben und Klimarisiken müssen proaktiv in Kredit-, Markt- und Kontrahentenrisikomodelle integriert werden. 4) Genehmigte Modelländerungen sind innerhalb von drei Monaten umzusetzen, was agile IT-Architekturen und automatisierte Validierungsprozesse erfordert. Institute, die frühzeitig Explainable-AI-Kompetenzen, robuste ESG-Datenbanken und modulare Systeme aufbauen, verwandeln die verschärften Anforderungen in einen nachhaltigen Wettbewerbsvorteil.
