The ECB meets urgently to analyze the situation in the financial markets

MADRID, 17 Mar. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Supervisory Board of the European Central Bank (ECB), led by Andrea Enria, met this Friday in an extraordinary way to assess the situation in the financial markets and the banking sector after the recent turbulence, as confirmed by the issuing institution.

"The Supervisory Board meets to exchange views and update members on recent events in the banking sector," an ECB spokesman explained.

The banking supervisor's meeting comes just a day after ECB President Christine Lagarde defended the soundness of European banking and expressed the central bank's willingness to provide liquidity if necessary.

This type of 'ad hoc' meeting of the supervisor is common when there are very rapid changes in the situation and, according to knowledgeable sources, he would have already met earlier this week, after the intervention in the United States of the Silicon Valley banks Bank (SVB) and Signature Bank.
