On November 24, 2015, the EBA published a report setting out the results of its 2015 EU-wide transparency exercise. The results provide data on capital positions, risk exposure amounts and asset quality on a bank-by-bank basis for 105 banks from 21 EEA countries. The report is based on existing supervisory reporting data submitted to the EBA and shows that capital levels have strengthened through banks raising additional equity and retaining earnings. The report also shows that quality of assets and levels of profitability have improved since 2014 and that there has been a general increase in the resilience of the EU banking sector since December 2014.
The results are available at: http://www.eba.europa.eu/-/eu-banks-better-capitalised-in-2015-but-npls-remain-of-concern.
