The EU Banking Package
On 6 December 2023, the EU Member States approved the final version of the CRR 3 and CRD 6, which will apply from 1 January 2025. The upcoming banking package brings extensive changes, making it important to start preparations to ensure compliance with the new rules well in advance of their entry into force.

It is critical not to underestimate the time needed for implementation. If preparations have not already started, now is the time to start adapting to the upcoming changes.
