The CBD include statistics on individual EU Member States and on the European Union and Euro Area as a whole. The end-2015 data refer to 342 banking groups together with 3,229 stand-alone credit institutions, and include data for 972 foreign-controlled branches and subsidiaries operating in the EU, covering nearly 100% of the EU banking sector balance sheet.
This dataset includes an extensive range of indicators on profitability and efficiency, balance sheets, liquidity and funding, asset encumbrance, non-performing loans developments and capital adequacy and solvency.
Aggregates and indicators are published for the full sample of the banking industry. While large reporters apply International Financial Reporting Standards and the EBA Implementing Technical Standards on supervisory reporting, in other cases reporters may apply national accounting standards, jointly with the EBA standards or not. Accordingly, aggregates and indicators are published also for data based on national accounting standards, depending on the availability of the underlying items.
The CBD series for EU banking groups are calculated on a cross-border and cross-sector basis, where “cross-border” refers to branches and subsidiaries located outside the domestic market and “cross-sector” to affiliates of banking groups that can be classified as other financial institutions. Insurance companies are not included within the consolidation perimeter.
