We have now reached a stage where we felt we could share our findings with a wider audience. The stability analysis is based on a wide range of quantitative and qualitative information drawn from national supervisory data sources and the ECB, as well as on an exchange of information among the member organisations of the BSC, the EU central banks and supervisory authorities.
The BSC has already achieved substantial progress in terms of harmonising consolidated bank profitability and balance sheet data - something which is of pivotal importance for macro-prudential analyses. I am confident that today’s presentation will be the starting point for what will develop into a good tradition.
