Economic Bulletin Articles, 2024, vol. 7

Abstract: The article examines how the ECB’s accountability practices have evolved during the ninth term of the European Parliament (2019-2024) and how these compare to previous parliamentary terms. It highlights innovations in the ECB’s accountability practices, including enhanced communication efforts and coverage of new initiatives, such as the digital euro project, which motivated extensive dialogue with the European Parliament. While focusing on central banking accountability in relation to monetary policy, it also outlines the accountability channels for ECB Banking Supervision. Overall, the article illustrates the fruitful joint efforts by the ECB and the European Parliament to effectively shape the accountability relationship and continue to enhance the dialogue between the two institutions.
