The European Banking Authority (EBA) today published its quarterly Risk Dashboard covering the main risks and vulnerabilities in the EU banking sector.

The European Banking Authority (EBA) today published a Report on the reliance of the EU financial sector on counterparties, operators, and financing originating from outside the Single Market. As of June 2021, 360 banks controlled by non-EU entities were operating in the EU representing 12% of the Union’s total banking assets. At the same time, EU banks had, on average, 19% of their total funding denominated in significant foreign currencies. These findings reflect the high degree of openness of the EU economy within the global financial system.
