EBA benchmarking the diversity practices and gender pay gap

Gender equality is a core value of the EU, established as a fundamental right in the EU treaties. Since 2015, the EBA has been collecting data on credit institutions and investment firms’ diversity policies, the composition of the management body in terms of gender, age, geographical, educational and professional background and the gender pay gap at the level of the management body.

On the 7th of March, EBA published its report on diversity practices and the gender pay gap at the level of the management body. The data gathered and analyzed for this exercise comes from a representative sample of credit institutions and investment firms made of 662 credit institutions and 129 investment firms selected by national competent authorities of all Member States of the European Union and Lichtenstein and Iceland on the basis of common criteria set out by the EBA.
