    This paper evaluates the impact of the March 2020 European Central Bank recommendation that banks do not pay dividends or buy back shares on their market values. It documents a causal negative impact on bank share prices of around 7% during the two weeks following its announcement. The recommendation affected the market values of banks directly, by delaying investor cash flows and indirectly, by increasing the uncertainty about future distributions and thus banks' equity risk premia. The impact differed across banks depending on their distribution plans and risk-adjusted profitability. Our analysis highlights the importance of managing perceptions about dividend uncertainty through credible communication about the expected duration, frequency and severity of dividend restrictions to limit their unintended side effects.

    Banking supervisors worldwide recognise the pressing need to harness frontier technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), particularly machine learning (ML), to enhance their efficiency and analytical capabilities. The European Central Bank (ECB) has similarly acknowledged the opportunities offered by supervisory technology (SupTech) and established a dedicated Suptech Hub. However, the adoption of automated technologies in banking supervision raises complex questions of legality, transparency, and accountability, particularly for the ECB, as a public institution within the EU’s democratic order founded on the rule of law.This study investigates how the use of AI systems to augment supervisory decision-making may impact EU fundamental rights, particularly the right to good administration. To this end, we first define the notion of good administration in the context of banking supervision, and explore what it entails for the ECB from legal and ethical perspectives. We then analyse the potential implications of AI-enhanced banking supervision for good administration and examine how the latter may inform the integration of AI/ML into supervisory processes and procedures.Drawing inspiration from the proposed EU AI Act, we develop a normative framework for regulating AI systems based on specific risks to good administration associated with different applications. Our framework prioritises transparency, auditability and accountability requirements to ensure that future AI-driven banking supervision is aligned with the principles of good administration. Overall, this study contributes to the growing literature on the legal implications of AI and ML adoption by financial supervisors, underscoring the importance of a balanced approach that upholds fundamental rights while harnessing the benefits of technological progress

  3. A risky bet: Should the EU choose a microprudential or a credit guidance approach to climate risk?

    Banking regulation and supervision have a key role to play in realising the EU’s climate change objectives. In this article we analyse the EU-level initiatives currently underway to green the banking system, in particular with regard to the microprudential rulebook. We document how regulators work hard to fit climate change concerns into the existing objectives of the microprudential framework. We also assess whether these efforts are likely to be successful by sketching two ways forward, which involve their own distinct hazards. The first is a predominantly microprudential approach which sees policy-makers take action to force banks to develop adequate internal risk management procedures while taking a largely agnostic approach as to what methodologies are appropriate. If this is the way forward, we see a number of risks: banks have a clear incentive to downplay risk, while large financial institutions gain a significant advantage and the distribution of responsibility between banks and supervisors becomes blurred. We also outline a second “credit guidance” approach, in which regulators provide fine-grained guidance on how banks should evaluate climate risk. Although we broadly think this approach is the more effective route to greening EU banking, we also see challenges of an entirely different sort: regulators will unavoidably face political choices and EU lawmakers need to consider issues of legality, legitimacy and accountability. In this regard, we argue, the EU faces a risky bet

    The cost of equity for banks equates to the compensation that market participants demand for investing in and holding banks’ equity, and has important implications for the transmission of monetary policy and for financial stability. Notwithstanding its importance, the cost of equity is unobservable and therefore needs to be estimated. This occasional paper provides estimates of the cost of equity for listed and unlisted euro area banks using a three-step methodology. In the first step, ten different models are estimated. In the second step, the models' results are combined applying an equal-weighting procedure. In the third step, the combined costs of equity for individual banks are aggregated at the euro area level and according to banks' business models. The results suggest that, since the Great Financial Crisis of 2007-08, the premia that investors demand to compensate them for the risk they bear when financing banks' equity has been persistently higher than the return on equity (ROE) generated by banks. We show that our estimates of cost of equity have plausible relationships to banks' fundamentals. The cost of equity tends to be higher for banks that are riskier (higher non-performing loan ratios), less efficient (higher cost-to-income ratio), and with more unstable funding sources (higher relative reliance on interbank deposits). Finally, we use bank fundamentals to estimate the cost of equity for unlisted banks. In general, unlisted banks are found to have a somewhat lower cost of equity compared to listed banks, with business model characteristics accounting for part of the estimated difference.

    Most banking supervisory authorities are charged with multiple mandates in addition to their core responsibility of fostering the safety and soundness (S&S) of banks and the banking system. Some of these mandates may conflict with, or divert scarce supervisory resources away from, the core S&S function. This paper takes stock of supervisory mandates in 27 jurisdictions and explores how banking supervisors interpret and navigate the S&S remit among other objectives. We find that most surveyed authorities have at least 10 or more objectives, accentuating potential tensions with their S&S remit – whose scope and complexity have increased over time. In this context, we outline a range of initiatives that some supervisory authorities take to deliver on their core S&S remit, while minimising potential tensions with other objectives. Nevertheless, the staggering range of objectives imposed on supervisory authorities highlights the extraordinary pressure placed on supervisors to juggle multiple responsibilities and risks diluting their ability to deliver on the core S&S mandate.

    We show that around one third of executive directors on the boards of national supervisory authorities (NSA) in European banking have an employment history in the financial industry. The appointment of executives without a finance background associates with negative valuation effects. Appointments of former bankers, in turn, spark positive stock market reactions. This „proximity premium“ of supervised banks is a more likely driver of positive valuation effects than superior financial expertise or intrinsic skills of former executives from the financial industry. Prior to the inception of the European Single Supervisory Mechanism, the presence of former financial industry executives on the board of NSA associates with lower regulatory capital and faster growth of banks, pointing to a more lenient supervisory style.
