ECB Bulletin: Update on economic, financial and monetary developments
The inflation outlook continues to be too high for too long. In light of the ongoing high inflation pressures, the Governing Council decided at its meeting on 4 May 2023 to raise the three key ECB interest rates by 25 basis points...The Governing Council’s future decisions will ensure that the policy rates will be brought to levels sufficiently restrictive to achieve a timely return of inflation to its 2% medium-term target and will be kept at those levels for as long as necessary.

The funding costs of euro area banks continued to increase in February, reflecting movements in market rates and higher deposit rates. Banks’ repayments of funds borrowed under the third series of targeted longer-term refinancing operations (TLTRO III) also contributed to higher bank funding costs. Bank lending rates for firms and households rose further, reflecting the increases in the key ECB interest rates. Banks reported a strong decrease in loan demand from firms and households in the first quarter of 2023. Furthermore, banks expect that the ECB’s non-standard monetary policy measures will contribute to weakening lending dynamics due to their effect on banks’ funding and liquidity positions.

The analyses have revealed that banks need to improve three areas in particular: how they identify a client in financial difficulties, how they ensure that clients are granted the most appropriate measures, and how they monitor forbearance measures, both at individual and portfolio level.

Norges Bank Investment Management CEO Nicolai Tangen at the hearing of the Standing Committee on Finance and Economic Affairs of the Storting: The fund lost a considerable sum in the Silicon Valley Bank bankruptcy, the biggest bank failure since the financial crisis.

If we manage to find them early, there’s money to be saved.

Speech by Isabel Schnabel, ECB: Monetary and financial stability – can they be separated?

Over the longer run, weakened bank profitability may expose the persisting problem of overbanking in the euro area coupled with a lack of pan-European bank mergers – an issue the ECB cannot solve on its own. So, the changing interest rate environment may provide a new impulse for one of the most important steps in European integration – completing European banking union.
