The Main Challenges Facing the Euro Area Banking System

Francesca Arnaboldi

Chapter Chapter 2 in Risk and Regulation in Euro Area Banks, 2019, pp 21-41 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter presents the first of the main issues that are still undermining euro area banking system soundness, that is, the large amount of non-performing loans on banks’ balance sheet. For a number of European banks, the main focus of the restructuring work has been on cleaning up their balance sheets by selling off or winding down large non-performing loan portfolios. This chapter provides insights into changing regulations and introduces the role of the European Central Bank in the field of non-performing loans management by banks. A comparison of the European Council Action Plan on non-performing loans presented by the European Commission with the last addendum of the European Central Bank on the same topic is provided.
