The report examines the performance of the banking sectors of the 25 EU Member States in 2005 and the first half of 2006, as well as the risks surrounding their outlook. A prudent approach to analysing banking sector stability requires the identification and evaluation of the implications for banks of plausible sources of downside risks to the most probable outcome. In this respect, the report also provides an assessment of the financial soundness and shock-absorbing capacity of banks. The present issue also contains a special chapter on risks related to foreign currency lending by EU banks in several Member States where such lending has been growing very rapidly. |
