Activities

Public Round Table

Public On-line Round Table: ‘Dealing with national divergence in Banking ³ÉÈËÍ·Ìõon’s Single Supervisory Mechanism’, Thursday, 6 July 2023, from 18.00 to 20.00   

The round table focused on the ongoing national divergence in the operation of the Single Supervisory Mechanism. Participants examined the margin of manoeuvre available to National Competent Authorities with regard to the supervision of Less Significant Institutions and the extent to which the ECB’s supervision of large banks is directed by divergent national rules. More specifically, the speakers discussed: the application of national law by the ECB in the banking supervision context; the state of play regarding granting cross-border liquidity waivers in the Banking ³ÉÈËÍ·Ìõon; and the role of Joint Supervisory Teams in supervisory convergence. Presentations were followed by a lively Question and Answer session.   

Participants:  

  • Chair:  Professor David Howarth, ³ÉÈËÍ·Ìõ  
  • Florian Weidenholzer, Head of Division Supervisory Policies at the ECB   
  • Dr Maria Cecilia del Barrio Arleo, European Banking Institute   
  • Dr Jakub Gren, European Banking Institute   
  • Professor Marta Božina BeroÅ¡, Associate Professor at the ³ÉÈËÍ·Ìõversity of Pula, Croatia
