- Abstract
- Early activation of the countercyclical capital buffer (CCyB), including adoption of a targeted “positive neutral” rate, has become an increasingly common practice within the euro area and beyond. This Focus Piece introduces a relatively novel approach for deriving a target positive neutral rate which links bank capital losses to macroeconomic variables using stress test data. The stress-test-elasticities approach complements existing methodologies developed by the ECB to inform the calibration of the target positive neutral CCyB rate for the euro area. As an example of how the approach works, a target positive neutral CCyB rate for the euro area is simulated based on scenarios designed to capture losses occurring when cyclical systemic risks are neither subdued nor elevated. The simulated results are consistent with actual positive neutral CCyB rates and align well with estimates derived from other ECB approaches.

- Abstract
- As authorities across the euro area work towards including climate risks into regular stress-testing frameworks, this article offers a starting point for assessing bank resilience to climate risks that materialise under a short-term horizon. This is relevant since acute physical risks and abrupt policy changes can also materialise at short notice and affect the balance sheet of financial institutions. The analysis uses an adverse macroeconomic backdrop that combines the EBA’s adverse scenario with the Network for Greening the Financial System’s Nationally Determined Contributions (NGFS NDCs) scenarios. It extends the EU-wide 2025 stress test results by incorporating both transition and acute physical climate risks into the credit risk assessment for non-financial corporations by means of top-down models. Transition risks driven by green investments to reduce emissions amplify credit losses and reduce banks’ CET1 capital, particularly in high energy-intensive sectors. Similarly, acute physical risks such as extreme flood events reduce CET1 capital through direct damage, local disruptions and macroeconomic spillovers. While the magnitude of impacts varies across banks, the analysis shows that both types of climate risk can have a moderate but consequential effect on capital ratios. Notably, the banks most exposed to climate-related losses may differ from those identified as the most vulnerable in the broader EU-wide assessment. These findings underscore the importance of incorporating both types of climate risk into regular financial stability assessments.

- Abstract
- In this paper we provide empirical evidence on the impact of US and UK monetary policy changes on credit supply of banks operating in Italy and France over the period 2000–2015, exploring the existence of an international bank lending channel based on the reliance on funding sources located in these two countries or denominated in their currency. We find that US monetary policy tightening leads to a reduction of lending to the domestic economy in both France and Italy, and this is mainly driven by banks that relied more intensely on USD funding markets. Conversely, we find that both French and Italian banks are isolated from UK monetary policy shocks, as most of their UK funding is denominated in Euro, despite being larger than funding from the US.

- Abstract
- During 2005-2006, the Chinese government implemented a reform aimed at eliminating the so-called non-tradable shares (NTS), shares typically held by the State or by politically connected institutional investors that were issued at the early stage of financial market development. Our analysis, based on the time series of risk factors and on the cross section of abnormal returns, confirms that the NTS reform affected stock prices, particularly benefiting small stocks, stocks characterized by historically poor returns, stocks issued by companies with less transparent accounts and poorer governance, and less liquid stocks Historically neglected stocks also witnessed an increase in the volume of trading and market prices.
