This practice note provides an overview of the EU Capital Requirements Regulation (575/2013) (CRR or EU CRR). The CRR applies to credit institutions and contains provisions relating to, among other things, own funds and capital requirements, large exposures, liquidity, leverage, supervisory reporting and disclosure.

Together with the CRD IV Directive (2013/36/EU), the CRR forms a key part of the EU prudential framework for banks.
