ECB bank supervision cannot tackle debt restructuring single-handedly

Lehmann, Alexander, (2016), “ECB bank supervision cannot tackle debt restructuring single-handedly”, Bruegel, 13 Οκτωβρίου

The European Central Bank has begun to tackle a key symptom of banking sector fragility with its proposed guidelines on banks’ management of non-performing loans (NPLs). But detailed targets for the reduction of NPLs and prescriptions for the internal governance and management of distressed assets also represent a new style of more intrusive supervision. For the ECB to succeed in bank rehabilitation, a macroeconomic scenario should guide the deleveraging process, capacity needs to be built, and governments will need to support a more holistic restructuring effort.
