Naturally accounting for nature
Destroying nature means destroying the economy, says Executive Board member Frank Elderson. Nature preservation is the responsibility of elected governments, but accounting for nature-related risks is vital for central banks and supervisors in the pursuit of their mandate.

- The importance of cyber resilience in protecting our banking sector cannot be overstated: the current landscape poses a variety of cyber threats, from cybercrime to sophisticated state-sponsored attacks. The results of our recent stress test will help us strengthen the way supervised banks manage cyber risk, to set the stage for a resilient banking future.

- Where do banks’ governance and risk culture stand after ten years of European supervision? Despite improvements, the ECB has concluded that there is still progress to be made. That’s why we are publishing a Guide on governance and risk culture outlining supervisory expectations and good practices.

- Assessing how banks implement their digitalisation activities and manage the related risks has been one of the ECB’s supervisory priorities in recent years. We have now completed a key milestone for defining assessment criteria and in gathering sound practices. The Supervision Blog looks at this important step.

- The Supervisory Board has decided to update its annual health check of banks, the Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process. Triggered by structural shifts, new risks and external shocks, the changes aim at making the SREP more efficient and effective.

- Materiality assessments are not just a “nice to have” – knowing your risks is a precondition for being able to address them. Most banks have now drawn up materiality assessments that are in line with our supervisory expectations. This is good news, but it is only the first step. A great deal more work lies ahead. By the end of this year, we expect all banks under our supervision to be fully aligned with all our supervisory expectations on the sound management of C&E risks.
