trust prudential authorities. only strong supervisors can implement strong supervision and exercise the required scrutiny. here i am concerned about the reluctance to grant the ecb a stronger and more adequate role as a gatekeeper in ensuring that only suitable and experienced managers can take up top positions at banks, especially at large ones. ensuring that managers are " fit and proper " for their job is key for sound and robust governance. the recent episode of bank stress has shown that culture matters and that banks need to be properly managed, as otherwise trust erodes. in addition, i am concerned that all proposals still impose freezes on the macroprudential buffers of a bank when the output floor becomes binding. this is allegedly to avoid double - counting of risks. but here again, legislators should trust the macroprudential authorities to ensure that both buffers are calibrated appropriately. 2 / 3 bis - central bankers'speeches macroprudential buffers cater for system - or sector - wide risk, while the output floor caters for bank - specific risk. on a positive note, we welcome the inclusion of environmental, social and governance risks more explicitly in banking regulation, as this will grant supervisors more adequate tools to require banks to address these risks more effectively. we also welcome the new rules on third - country branches, which aim to avoid unregulated and unsupervised activities that could pose risks to financial stability in the eu. conclusion let me conclude. finalising basel iii in eu legislation is crucial to keep our banks safe in an ever - changing macro - financial environment. we should do so faithfully, without deviations, to underpin our commitment to a resilient banking sector in europe. i strongly welcome the intention of the swedish and spanish presidencies to finalise crr3 and crd6 still this year, to ensure an entry into force on 1 january 2025. targeting this date will also keep the eu aligned with the plans in other major global jurisdictions, so that we cross the finishing line together after this over ten - year endeavour to strengthen the global banking system. only by upholding strong regulation and powerful supervision, will we ensure strong and stable banks in the eu. 3 / 3 bis - central bankers'speeches

have helped the stressed banks. the lcr should not be considered a tool in isolation to measure and address liquidity and funding risks. to the contrary, the 1 / 3 bis - central bankers'speeches turbulence this spring shows that the basel framework – which has regulatory and supervisory pillars – needs to be seen and be implemented, in its entirety. for example, in the ecb, the check of regulatory measures such as the lcr is complemented by additional supervisory liquidity risk monitoring. a third and important lesson from the recent episode is that trust issues can develop and spread more quickly in the digital age. bank runs can happen faster than in the past. this makes it even more important to have bank managers'commitment to sound bank business models, because they are a precondition for trust. bank management matters in establishing trust in business models. we need a tough rulebook which allows supervisors to check and react to bank management - related issues. priorities for the banking package coming to the topic of today, what should we focus on for finalising the eu banking package? two key priorities emerge from the above learnings. first, only strong rules will lead to strong banks. i am particularly concerned about those areas where the legislation proposals for the capital requirements regulation ( crr3 ) would deviate from basel iii – especially on the risk - weights for loans to unrated corporates. these deviations lower the impact of the output floor on banks'required capital. in fact, on average, all proposed deviations together would more than halve the effect of the introduction of the output floor on banks'required regulatory capital, and even lower the required regulatory capital for some banks compared to the status quo. it is of particular concern that in some of the proposals these deviations are even suggested to be made permanent. watering down the safeguards provided by agreed global standards now would send a detrimental message not only on the future resilience of eu banks, but also regarding the eu's commitment to international agreements. a similarly concerning issue is the intention by some trilogue parties to reintroduce prudential filters on the accounting of unrealised losses on government bonds. these have been in place in the eu until the end of 2022 on account of a systemic exemption during the pandemic crisis. they need to be strictly limited to exceptional crises times and now is not the time to reintroduce them. as a second priority, i call on you to empower and
