In Focus

Banking in a changing climate

Climate change creates both “physical” and “transition” risks. Financial policy and regulation need to be coordinated to tackle these risks and ensure sustainable development. ECB Banking Supervision sees climate-related risks as a key risk driver in 2019.

Keeping an eye on banks’ leveraged lending

Banks are making good progress in the risk management of leveraged loans. Still, they need to continue adequately assessing the direct and indirect risks as leveraged lending markets remain buoyant and lending practices are often influenced by investors’ search for yield.

Brexit: latest state of play

The potential delay of Brexit until 31 October should not slow the pace of banks’ implementation of their Brexit plans. Rather, they should use the time to focus their efforts on implementing their target operating models to ensure they are fully prepared.

Gearing up to fight money laundering

Banks’ involvement in money laundering can pose significant risks to them. In addition to banks’ own efforts, the ECB has strengthened its cooperation with the authorities responsible to incorporate any information from them into its supervisory work.

Guiding lights: non-executive directors

Banks’ non-executive directors are like lighthouses: they oversee, guide and support operations while keeping a healthy distance. Supervisors and banks agree that appointing the right people to non-executive roles is important for governance.

The need for improved cyber resilience

Digitalisation can bring benefits for banks, but also comes with risks. The ECB wants to ensure that banks manage these risks appropriately through its reporting framework. The diverse nature of cyber incidents indicates a range of vulnerabilities that banks need to address.

Key data

Profitability remains stable while NPL levels drop

The data for the fourth quarter of 2018 show that the return on equity (RoE) for the aggregated group of significant institutions, at 6.16%, was slightly above the 2017 level of 5.92%. The dispersion of RoE across banks reduced significantly over the same period. The non-performing loans ratio continued to fall (3.80% in Q4 2018 compared with 4.93% in Q4 2017). In April 2019 the ECB began publishing the time series of supervisory statistics (from Q2 2015) in the ECB Statistical Data Warehouse.

ECB Statistical Data Warehouse

Did you know...

…that ECB Banking Supervision currently supervises 117 banks in the euro area, but that this number can change at any given time as a result of changes in banks' size, economic importance or cross-border activities? The annual significance assessment is usually conducted from early June until September-October. However, the ECB can carry out ad hoc significance assessments whenever needed, for example on euro area banks expanding their activities in the context of Brexit. The list of significant institutions is now updated on the ECB's Banking Supervision website on a monthly basis (it was previously updated every two to three months). More timely updates reduce the delay between the actual changes and their publication, and also mean that the information held by the ECB and the national competent authorities is better aligned.
