Warning of the European Systemic Risk Board (ESRB)
On 22 September 2022, ESRB issued a warning on vulnerabilities in the financial system of the EU.

ESRB calls for microprudential and macroprudential authorities to preserve or enhance this resilience of the financial sector, so that it can continue to support the real economy even if these risks materialise.
