| ESAs warn of risks from economic and geopolitical events
September 10, 2024--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 continued decline of inflation in late 2023 and early 2024 has led central banks to begin the shift towards looser monetary policy. Financial markets performed strongly in anticipation of future rate cuts and an improving macroeconomic outlook, save for the short-lived but sharp equity price dip in August. Considerable uncertainties, nonetheless, remain regarding the future path of the global economy, inflation and monetary policy and the interplay of these factors across different jurisdictions. |
