How stable are the banks, Ms Buch? Interview with the “Süddeutsche Zeitung”
Speaking in an interview with the “Süddeutsche Zeitung” newspaper, Bundesbank Vice-President Claudia Buch stressed that stricter regulation of the banking sector does not pose a risk to the funding of the green transition. Equity capital enables banks to carry on supplying credit, even when times get tough, she remarked, noting that European banks are robust and satisfy the ratios they are expected to. At the same time, the financial system is more vulnerable than it was just a few years ago owing to the severe shocks to the economy, Buch said.
