EBA Publishes Report on Risks and Vulnerabilities in EU Banking Sector
EBA published its tenth report on risks and vulnerabilities in the banking sector in EU. The report is accompanied by the 2017 EU-wide transparency exercise, which provides key data for 132 banks across the EU in a comparable and accessible format.
The data show further resilience in the EU banking sector amid a benign macroeconomic and financial environment, with an additional strengthening of the capital position, an improvement of asset quality, and a slight increase of profitability. However, further progress on nonperforming loans (NPLs) is needed while the long-term sustainability of prevailing business models remains a challenge. The importance of robust data management and IT and operational resilience is also a priority.
EBA has been conducting transparency exercises at EU-wide level on an annual basis since 2011. Similar to the Risk Assessment Report, the transparency exercise fully relies on supervisory reporting data. Along with the dataset, EBA also provides a wide range of interactive tools that allow users to compare and visualize data by using maps and excel spreadsheets at a country and a bank-by-bank level.
