The EBA publishes key indicators on climate risk in the EU/EEA banking sector

Date : Tags : , , ,

The EBA has launched an ESG dashboard to monitor climate risks across the EU/EEA banking sector using Pillar 3 disclosures. It benchmarks transition and physical risks, revealing high bank exposure (>70%) to carbon‑intensive sectors, suggesting significant transition risk. Physical risk exposure is lower (<30%), but data granularity varies. Around half of real estate lending has relatively high energy efficiency, though data relies on estimates. The Green Asset Ratio (GAR) is low (~3%), reflecting the early stage of EU Taxonomy alignment. This framework supports the monitoring of climate‑related financial stability risks. The dashboard uses data from December 2023 and June 2024.
