Welcome to the EBA

The three European Supervisory Authorities (EBA, EIOPA and ESMA - ESAs) today issued their Autumn 2024 Joint Committee Report on risks and vulnerabilities in the EU financial system. The Report underlines ongoing high economic and geopolitical uncertainties. The ESAs warn national supervisors of the financial stability risks stemming from these uncertainties and call for continued vigilance from all financial market participants. For the first time, the Report also includes a cross-sectoral deep dive into credit risks in the financial sector.

​The European Banking Authority (EBA) launched today the 2024 EU-wide transparency exercise.

The European Banking Authority (EBA) today published an Opinion following the notification by the Dutch Central Bank (De Nederlandsche Bank - DNB) of its intention to extend a measure originally introduced in 2022 for a further two years until 2026. The measure aims to maintain the resilience of institutions against a potential severe downturn in the residential real estate market. This action comes amidst  recent sustained real estate price increases. Based on the information provided by the DNB, the EBA does not object to the extension of the measure.
