Bank Exposure Reports Extended: No Changes, No Excuses
Published Date: 8/21/2025
Notice
Summary
Banks and financial groups that fill out the Country Exposure Reports (FFIEC 009 and 009a) get a green light to keep using the same forms for three more years—no changes! The agencies asked for public feedback earlier this year, got it, and now they’re sending the paperwork to the big review office (OMB) to keep things official. This means no new costs or surprises, just a smooth extension through 2028.
