Euro area supervisors have identified proposals to enhance the proportionality of prudential requirements and supervisory practices for small and non-complex institutions. Rather than creating a separate prudential regime for smaller banks, the proposals build on the existing framework.

Through on-site inspections, supervisors can gather direct evidence about how banks manage risks, make decisions, apply their internal policies and design their internal models. This blog explains how the ECB is reforming its on-site work to make it more focused, timely and effective.

Geopolitical risks are difficult to predict and can affect banks in many ways. The ECB’s 2026 reverse stress test highlights how banks can better understand their vulnerabilities, prepare for adverse scenarios and strengthen their resilience.

ECB Banking Supervision is turning its reform agenda into concrete progress: making supervision more efficient, more effective and more risk-based, while continuing to preserve banks’ resilience.

European banking supervision has reviewed over 130 publications to make them more concise and user friendly. Around 40 will be discontinued, others have been revised in a targeted manner, and several are undergoing a more in-depth review, including the guide on governance and risk culture.
