This is commonly cited as an explanation for the economic havoc wrought by the global financial crisis of 2007-08. We introduce the notion of pessimism in a real business cycle model, which is a standard framework for business cycle analysis. The possibility of waves of pessimism generates countercyclical demand from banks for liquid assets (e.g., bank reserves). With the model, we study the macroeconomic effects of the government supplying liquid assets and find that a policy of accommodating banks’ demand is effective in stabilising the economy.

These funds often offer more favourable redemption terms than the liquidity of their holdings justifies, potentially creating financial stability risks. Negative market shocks can quickly lead to large investor outflows, necessitating substantial asset sales that exert downward pressure on asset prices. This can result in a self-reinforcing cycle of further outflows and increased volatility. Investment funds have a larger footprint in euro area corporate bonds, which tend to be less liquid than other assets. This makes corporate bonds especially susceptible to sharp price declines under forced sale conditions, heightening the likelihood of disorderly market corrections. By contrast, euro area sovereign bonds are relatively resilient due to their higher liquidity and the more diversified investor base, reducing the market impact of sales by specific types of investors. This analysis highlights the need for regulatory adjustments to better safeguard financial stability. Extending redemption notice periods for funds with less liquid assets is a key recommendation, as such measures can help stabilise markets during times of stress by allowing more orderly liquidation and reducing abrupt price impacts.</dd><dt>JEL Code</dt><dd><strong>G17</strong> : Financial Economics→General Financial Markets→Financial Forecasting and Simulation<br/><strong>G23</strong> : Financial Economics→Financial Institutions and Services→Non-bank Financial Institutions, Financial Instruments, Institutional Investors<br/><strong>G28</strong> : Financial Economics→Financial Institutions and Services→Government Policy and Regulation<br/><strong>E44</strong> : Macroeconomics and Monetary Economics→Money and Interest Rates→Financial Markets and the Macroeconomy<br/></dd></dl></div></div></dd><dt isoDate="2024-11-20"><div class="date">20 November 2024</div></dt><dd><div class="category">FINANCIAL STABILITY REVIEW - BOX</div><div class="title"><a href="/press/financial-stability-publications/fsr/focus/2024/html/ecb.fsrbox202411_04~9a4d04b582.en.html" >Euro area banks as intermediators of US dollar liquidity via repo and FX swap markets</a></div><div class="authors"><ul><li><a href="/pub/research/authors/profiles/benjamin-klaus.en.html" >Benjamin Klaus</a></li><li><a href="/pub/research/authors/profiles/luca-mingarelli.en.html" >Luca Mingarelli</a></li></ul></div><div class="main-publication">Financial Stability Review Issue 2, 2024</div><div class="ecb-langSelector"><span class="offeredLanguage"><a class='arrow' lang="en" href="/press/financial-stability-publications/fsr/focus/2024/html/ecb.fsrbox202411_04~9a4d04b582.en.html"> <span class="ecb-full">English</span></a></span></div><div class='accordion'><div class="header"><div class="title">Details</div></div><div class="content-box"><dl><dt>Abstract</dt><dd>This box examines the role of euro area banks in the intermediation of US dollar liquidity and maps the global structure of funding markets and their evolution.

This increased intermediation exposes euro area banks and their counterparties to potential liquidity risks, especially during periods of market stress.

The FSR was originally launched to help in preventing financial crises, and this special feature draws lessons from two decades of experience in identifying, analysing and communicating about systemic risks via this publication. Although risk analysis and risk communication are distinct processes, the special feature emphasises that they are inextricably intertwined in a seamless cycle where each informs and enhances the other. Effective risk identification is founded on the ability to combine structured, data-driven assessments with qualitative insights and expert judgement. Such an approach requires a comprehensive and adaptive framework that continuously integrates broad reviews of indicators with focused analyses on emerging risks. Early identification of vulnerabilities enables timely intervention, but the complex, non-linear way that the financial system functions means that flexibility remains essential. Clear and transparent communication of systemic risks supports this analytical process by shaping expectations and enhancing market discipline, creating a feedback loop that strengthens both policy response and risk awareness. However, central banks face the challenge of balancing communication frequency and depth in order to avoid false alarms while at the same time maintaining credibility. As the ECB’s FSR has evolved, it has sought to become more accessible and data-driven, while utilising diverse media channels to broaden its audience. Experience confirms that targeted, proactive communication reinforces financial stability by aligning policymakers and markets, underscoring the symbiotic relationship between risk analysis and effective communication in maintaining financial system resilience.</dd><dt>JEL Code</dt><dd><strong>D81</strong> : Microeconomics→Information, Knowledge, and Uncertainty→Criteria for Decision-Making under Risk and Uncertainty<br/><strong>E58</strong> : Macroeconomics and Monetary Economics→Monetary Policy, Central Banking, and the Supply of Money and Credit→Central Banks and Their Policies<br/><strong>G01</strong> : Financial Economics→General→Financial Crises<br/></dd></dl></div></div></dd><dt isoDate="2024-11-19"><div class="date">19 November 2024</div></dt><dd><div class="category">OTHER PUBLICATION</div><div class="title"><a href="/pub/pdf/other/ecb.report_fit-for-55_stress_test_exercise~7fec18f3a8.en.pdf?4ac4d9871ed7c8e8eaa9cde5c3452dcf" >Fit-for-55 climate scenario analysis</a></div><div class="ecb-langSelector"><span class="offeredLanguage"><a class='pdf' lang="en" href="/pub/pdf/other/ecb.report_fit-for-55_stress_test_exercise~7fec18f3a8.en.pdf"> <span class="ecb-full">English</span></a></span></div><div class='accordion'><div class="header"><div class="title">Annexes</div></div><div class="content-box"><div class="definition-list "><dl><dt isoDate="2024-11-19"><div class="date">19 November 2024</div></dt><dd><div class="category">ANNEX</div><div class="title"><a href="/pub/pdf/annex/ecb.report_fit-for-55_stress_test_exercise_chartdata.en.xlsx?031d230fa955218cdef7ed314d6b9a96" >Underlying chart data</a></div><div class="ecb-langSelector"><span class="offeredLanguage"><a class='xls' lang="en" href="/pub/pdf/annex/ecb.report_fit-for-55_stress_test_exercise_chartdata.en.xlsx"> <span class="ecb-full">English</span></a></span></div></dd></dl></div></div></div></dd><dt isoDate="2024-11-19"><div class="date">19 November 2024</div></dt><dd><div class="category">FAQ</div><div class="title"><a href="/press/publications/html/ecb.faq_fit_for_55_stress_test.en.html" >FAQ on one-off “Fit-for-55” climate scenario analysis</a></div><div class="ecb-langSelector"><span class="offeredLanguage"><a class='arrow' lang="en" href="/press/publications/html/ecb.faq_fit_for_55_stress_test.en.html"> <span class="ecb-full">English</span></a></span></div><div class='accordion'><div class="header"><div class="title">Related</div></div><div class="content-box"><div class="definition-list "><dl><dt isoDate="2024-11-19"><div class="date">19 November 2024</div></dt><dd><div class="category">PRESS RELEASE</div><div class="title"><a href="/press/pr/date/2024/html/ecb.pr241119~10b6083ce0.en.html" >Transition risk losses alone unlikely to threaten EU financial stability, “Fit-For-55” climate stress test shows</a></div><div class="ecb-langSelector"><span class="offeredLanguage"><a class='arrow' lang="en" href="/press/pr/date/2024/html/ecb.pr241119~10b6083ce0.en.html"> <span class="ecb-full">English</span></a></span></div><div class="ecb-langSelector"><span class="offeredLanguage"><a class='pdf' lang="de" href="/press/pr/date/2024/html/ecb.pr241119~10b6083ce0.de.pdf" data-label="German"> <span class="ecb-full">Deutsch</span></a></span><div class="moreLanguages"> <span class="lnglabel">OTHER LANGUAGES</span> <span class="lang-counter">(2)</span> <span class="ecb-plus">+</span> </div> <div class="ecb-langPopup"> <div class="ecb-closeBtn"></div> <div class="ecb-langHead">Select your language</div> <div class="otherlang"><a lang="es" href="/press/pr/date/2024/html/ecb.pr241119~10b6083ce0.es.pdf" data-label="Spanish"> <span class="ecb-full">Español</span><span class="ecb-short">ES</span></a><a lang="fr" href="/press/pr/date/2024/html/ecb.pr241119~10b6083ce0.fr.pdf" data-label="French"> <span class="ecb-full">Français</span><span class="ecb-short">FR</span></a></div></div></div></dd><dt isoDate="2024-11-19"><div class="date">19 November 2024</div></dt><dd><div class="category">THE ECB BLOG</div><div class="title"><a href="/press/blog/date/2024/html/ecb.blog20241119~cccee738e1.en.html" >Can our financial system support the green transition when the going gets tough?</a></div><div class="authors"></div><div class="ecb-langSelector"><span class="offeredLanguage"><a class='arrow' lang="en" href="/press/blog/date/2024/html/ecb.blog20241119~cccee738e1.en.html"> <span class="ecb-full">English</span></a></span></div></dd></dl></div></div></div></dd><dt isoDate="2024-11-19"><div class="date">19 November 2024</div></dt><dd><div class="category">FINANCIAL STABILITY REVIEW -

In light of the importance of bank lending as a source of external funding for euro area firms, this special feature investigates the link between firm productivity and bank credit allocation. Bank credit in the euro area has been skewed towards sectors that have contributed only marginally to aggregate productivity growth, such as real estate. Additionally, bank loans tilted towards less-productive firms within the same sectors during the COVID-19 pandemic, supported by state credit guarantees. Banks with weaker balance sheets lent more to less-productive firms during this period than other banks did. The tilt towards less-productive firms could have an indirect effect on aggregate productivity if the survival of less-productive firms suppresses the profitability of more-productive competitors, discouraging market entry and investment. A more diversified external funding structure could help boost the productivity of euro area firms, to the benefit of financial stability.</dd><dt>JEL Code</dt><dd><strong>D24</strong> : Microeconomics→Production and Organizations→Production, Cost, Capital, Capital, Total Factor, and Multifactor Productivity, Capacity<br/><strong>E22</strong> : Macroeconomics and Monetary Economics→Consumption, Saving, Production, Investment, Labor Markets, and Informal Economy→Capital, Investment, Capacity<br/><strong>E44</strong> : Macroeconomics and Monetary Economics→Money and Interest Rates→Financial Markets and the Macroeconomy<br/><strong>G21</strong> : Financial Economics→Financial Institutions and Services→Banks, Depository Institutions, Micro Finance Institutions, Mortgages<br/></dd></dl></div></div></dd><dt isoDate="2024-11-15"><div class="date">15 November 2024</div></dt><dd><div class="category">LETTERS TO MEPS</div><div class="title"><a href="/pub/pdf/other/ecb.mepletter241115_Zijlstra~344bb2c155.en.pdf?473b5d69c44caeaffbae78e95d68a60d" >Letter from the ECB President to Mr Auke Zijlstra, MEP, on the digital euro</a></div><div class="ecb-langSelector"><span class="offeredLanguage"><a class='pdf' lang="en" href="/pub/pdf/other/ecb.mepletter241115_Zijlstra~344bb2c155.en.pdf"> <span class="ecb-full">English</span></a></span></div></dd><dt isoDate="2024-11-15"><div class="date">15 November 2024</div></dt><dd><div class="category">OCCASIONAL PAPER SERIES - No. 361</div><div class="title"><a href="/pub/pdf/scpops/ecb.op361~145e704503.en.pdf?6d703007dff111e961aa41059ae93eca" >Keep calm, but watch the outliers: deposit flows in recent crisis episodes and beyond</a></div><div class="authors"><ul><li><a href="/pub/research/authors/profiles/luisa-fascione.en.html" >Luisa Fascione</a></li><li><a href="/pub/research/authors/profiles/koen-oosterhek.en.html" >Koen Oosterhek</a></li><li><a href="/pub/research/authors/profiles/beatrice-scheubel.en.html" >Beatrice Scheubel</a></li><li><a href="/pub/research/authors/profiles/livio-stracca.en.html" >Livio Stracca</a></li><li><a href="/pub/research/authors/profiles/nadya-wildmann.en.html" >Nadya Wildmann</a></li></ul></div><div class="ecb-langSelector"><span class="offeredLanguage"><a class='pdf' lang="en" href="/pub/pdf/scpops/ecb.op361~145e704503.en.pdf"> <span class="ecb-full">English</span></a></span></div><div class='accordion'><div class="header"><div class="title">Details</div></div><div class="content-box"><dl><dt>Abstract</dt><dd>Since the March 2023 banking turmoil, a policy debate has emerged concerning the unprecedented scale and speed of the observed deposit outflows. Have recent stress episodes and developments in technology structurally changed depositors’ behaviour? Are the Basel III liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) run-off assumptions for cash outflows still fit for purpose? Leveraging on monthly liquidity reporting for a sample of 110 significant institutions (SIs) between 2016 and 2024, we shed light on some stylised facts pertaining to the composition of deposit flows in the banking union. Overall, we find limited evidence of a structural change in the statistical behaviour of deposit flows to date. For all but one of the deposit classes included in the analysis, more than 90% of observable net outflows remained below the LCR run-off assumptions during the whole sample period. Some extreme deposit outflows recorded during the COVID-19 pandemic and for a few SIs assessed as failing or likely to fail (FOLTF) remain rare tail events for which the LCR standard was not designed.</dd><dt>JEL Code</dt><dd><strong>G20</strong> : Financial Economics→Financial Institutions and Services→General<br/><strong>G21</strong> : Financial Economics→Financial Institutions and Services→Banks, Depository Institutions, Micro Finance Institutions, Mortgages<br/><strong>G28</strong> : Financial Economics→Financial Institutions and Services→Government Policy and Regulation<br/></dd></dl></div></div></dd><dt isoDate="2024-11-14"><div class="date">14 November 2024</div></dt><dd><div class="category">LEGAL ACT</div><div class="title"><a href="/pub/pdf/legal/ecb.leg_gui_2024_37.en.pdf?bd579990e66a7e6ab6973080664906e0" >Guideline ECB_2024_37 repealing Guideline ECB_2024_23 and amending Guideline ECB_2014_60 (Gen_Doc)</a></div><div class="ecb-langSelector"><span class="offeredLanguage"><a class='pdf' lang="en" href="/pub/pdf/legal/ecb.leg_gui_2024_37.en.pdf"> <span class="ecb-full">English</span></a></span></div></dd><dt isoDate="2024-11-14"><div class="date">14 November 2024</div></dt><dd><div class="category">LEGAL ACT</div><div class="title"><a href="/pub/pdf/legal/ecb.leg_gui_2024_36.en.pdf?835a920e7da23b6b9e4911e53967eca4" >Guideline ECB_2024_36 amending Guideline ECB_2024_22 on the management of collateral in Eurosystem credit operations</a></div><div class="ecb-langSelector"><span class="offeredLanguage"><a class='pdf' lang="en" href="/pub/pdf/legal/ecb.leg_gui_2024_36.en.pdf"> <span class="ecb-full">English</span></a></span></div></dd><dt isoDate="2024-11-14"><div class="date">14 November 2024</div></dt><dd><div class="category">WORKING PAPER SERIES - No. 3001</div><div class="title"><a href="/pub/pdf/scpwps/ecb.wp3001~2650b4b003.en.pdf?10f15586e9ccf06b6ad71338f95814a6" >Real effects of credit supply shocks: evidence from Danish banks, firms, and workers</a></div><div class="authors"><ul><li><a href="/pub/research/authors/profiles/christofer-schroeder.en.html" >Christofer Schroeder</a></li><li><a href="/pub/research/authors/profiles/simon-juul-hviid.en.html" >Simon Juul Hviid</a></li></ul></div><div class="ecb-langSelector"><span class="offeredLanguage"><a class='pdf' lang="en" href="/pub/pdf/scpwps/ecb.wp3001~2650b4b003.en.pdf"> <span class="ecb-full">English</span></a></span></div><div class='accordion'><div class="header"><div class="title">Details</div></div><div class="content-box"><dl><dt>Abstract</dt><dd>Contractions in credit supply can lead firms to reduce their level of employment, yet little is known about how these shocks affect the composition of firms’ employees and outcomes at the worker level. This paper investigates how bank distress affects credit provision and its effects on employment beyond firm-level aggregates. To do so, we use a novel dataset built from administrative and tax records linking all banks, firms, and workers in Denmark. We show that banks that were particularly exposed to the 2008-09 financial crisis cut lending to firms, and firms were unable to fully compensate with financing from alternate sources. The decrease in credit supply led to a drop in firm-level employment, with effects concentrated among firms with low pre-crisis liquidity, and on employment of low-educated and nonmanagerial workers. At the worker level, we find that positive effects on unemployment were driven by effects on low-educated, non-managerial and short-tenured workers. Our estimates suggest that cuts in bank lending can account for at least 5% of the fall in employment of low-educated workers in our sample, and are an important factor behind heterogeneous employment dynamics in times of contractionary credit.</dd><dt>JEL Code</dt><dd><strong>E24</strong> : Macroeconomics and Monetary Economics→Consumption, Saving, Production, Investment, Labor Markets, and Informal Economy→Employment, Unemployment, Wages, Intergenerational Income Distribution, Aggregate Human Capital<br/><strong>E44</strong> : Macroeconomics and Monetary Economics→Money and Interest Rates→Financial Markets and the Macroeconomy<br/><strong>G01</strong> : Financial Economics→General→Financial Crises<br/><strong>G21</strong> : Financial Economics→Financial Institutions and Services→Banks, Depository Institutions, Micro Finance Institutions, Mortgages<br/><strong>J23</strong> : Labor and Demographic Economics→Demand and Supply of Labor→Labor Demand<br/></dd></dl></div></div></dd><dt isoDate="2024-11-14"><div class="date">14 November 2024</div></dt><dd><div class="category">WORKING PAPER SERIES - No. 3000</div><div class="title"><a href="/pub/pdf/scpwps/ecb.wp3000~33d4540ff4.en.pdf?8cf4cb94ad950937d58d32074c6f2830" >Banks and non-banks stressed: liquidity shocks and the mitigating role of insurance companies</a></div><div class="authors"><ul><li><a href="/pub/research/authors/profiles/matthias-sydow.en.html" >Matthias Sydow</a></li><li><a href="/pub/research/authors/profiles/gabor-fukker.en.html" >Gábor Fukker</a></li><li><a href="/pub/research/authors/profiles/tomasz-dubiel-teleszynski.en.html" >Tomasz Dubiel-Teleszynski</a></li><li><a href="/pub/research/authors/profiles/fabio-franch.en.html" >Fabio Franch</a></li><li><a href="/pub/research/authors/profiles/helmut-gruendl.en.html" >Helmut Gründl</a></li><li><a href="/pub/research/authors/profiles/debora-miccio.en.html" >Debora Miccio</a></li><li><a href="/pub/research/authors/profiles/michela-pellegrino.en.html" >Michela Pellegrino</a></li><li><a href="/pub/research/authors/profiles/sebastien-gallet.en.html" >Sébastien Gallet</a></li><li><a href="/pub/research/authors/profiles/stelios-kotronis.en.html" >Stelios Kotronis</a></li><li><a href="/pub/research/authors/profiles/sebastian-schluetter.en.html" >Sebastian Schlütter</a></li><li><a href="/pub/research/authors/profiles/matteo-sottocornola.en.html" >Matteo Sottocornola</a></li></ul></div><div class="ecb-langSelector"><span class="offeredLanguage"><a class='pdf' lang="en" href="/pub/pdf/scpwps/ecb.wp3000~33d4540ff4.en.pdf"> <span class="ecb-full">English</span></a></span></div><div class='accordion'><div class="header"><div class="title">Details</div></div><div class="content-box"><dl><dt>Abstract</dt><dd>This paper documents the extension of the system-wide stress testing framework of the ECB with the insurance sector for a more thorough assessment of risks to financial stability. The special nature of insurers is captured by the modelling of the liability side and its loss absorbing capacity of technical provisions as the main novel feature of the model. Leveraging on highly granular data and information on bilateral exposures, we assess the impact of liquidity and solvency shocks and demonstrate how a combined endogenous reactions of banks, investment funds and insurance companies can further amplify losses in the financial system. The chosen hypothetical scenario and subsequent simulation results show that insurers’ ability to transfer losses to policyholders reduces losses for the entire financial sector. Furthermore, beyond a certain threshold, insurance companies play a crucial role in mitigating both direct and indirect contagion.</dd><dt>JEL Code</dt><dd><strong>D85</strong> :
