Claudia Buch: Banking regulators, supervisors and their watchers
Why this matters
This is a substantive policy speech by a senior ECB official addressing banking supervision's foundational principles and practical implementation. It discusses the supervisory policy cycle for capital requirements, announces methodological reforms (revised Pillar 2 methodology), describes ongoing infrastructure development (data repositories, FRAME meta-analyses, research data centre pilot), and signals commitment to evidence-based evaluation. While not a binding rule or consultation, it provides significant regulatory guidance on how capital requirements are set, benchmarked, and evaluated, and commits to enhanced transparency and data access. The speech reflects current policy priorities around simplification, consistency, and accountability in European banking supervision.
