8.11.2023Company: MAZARS
Has the European banking sector achieved renewed stability amidst a troubled macroeconomic context? Over the past three years, the banking sector has had to endure numerous crises, including Covid-19 and the war in Ukraine. What do the 2023 interim results of the 26 largest banks in Europe indicate about the impact on Expected Credit Losses (ECL) in this unusual environment?
We have analysed the 2023 interim reports of 26 banks in 11 European countries to better understand the impact of financial turbulence and ongoing geopolitical crises on their Expected Credit Losses. This study is the seventh in its series and follows on from previous editions of the report since its launch in 2020.
A focus on Expected Credit Losses
The study mainly focuses on the ECL-related impacts, with key findings on:
- ECL charge impact of H1 2023 on the profit or loss and ECL allowances
- ECL allowances: changes in coverage ratios and allocation between stages
- Post-model adjustments/overlays
- Forward looking information
The first half of the year was rocked by financial turbulence. How has this climate impacted the Expected Credit Losses of the 26 largest banks in Europe? Find out more in our new report: here.
