The EU-wide transparency exercise has become a cornerstone of the EU banking sector supervision since 2011. It provides increasingly comprehensive data and state-of-the-art visualisation tools, with the aim of enhancing transparency and confidence in the resilience and stability of the EU financial system. This exercise complements the EBA’s bi-annual stress test and uses supervisory reporting data to provide a clear picture of banks’ capital strength, risk exposures and asset quality. In 2019, the exercise was expanded to quarterly disclosures, thus significantly increasing the amount of data available to the public.
