Financial Stability and Prudential Supervision
We support competent authorities in their efforts to strengthen the stability of the financial system and accelerate financial sector development. We focus on micro-prudential supervision to ensure the soundness and stability of the banking sector. We consider the relevance of the insurance sector for the overall stability of the financial system. When supporting development of supervisory capacities, our attention goes to the harmonization of regulation with international and European standards. In the sphere of ensuring financial stability, we address building a sound macro-prudential framework and toolkit; identify, assess, and address systemic and sector-specific risks; and do the assessment of policies. Learning opportunities address new trends, such as climate, geopolitical, or cyber security risks and their implications on the financial sector.

2025 Highlights
The community of experts in Banking Regulation and Supervision (BRS) will continue to prioritize digitalization, reflecting their identified needs and expectations. These experts will meet regularly online to discuss specific challenges in banking supervision and will gather in person for the main event of the BRS Community: Regional Conference on Banking Regulation and Supervision. Alongside the Regional Conference, we will host select experts for a tailored study visit, which will include visits to peer competent authorities.
Through other learning activities within banking regulation and supervision, we will focus on enhancing on-site supervision skills, including planning, organizing, and conducting inspections. Additionally, we will explore the role of artificial intelligence in improving prudential supervision and the importance of cyber security risk management. Regarding financial stability, we will dexamine macroprudential policy and instruments, sharing experiences from various central banks on the effective use of credit, liquidity, and capital-related measures to mitigate systemic risks.
