Financial reporting of European banks: benchmark study 2024
Does the perceived reduction in risk amongst European banks hint at early signs of optimism for the sector? Throughout 2023, we observed a global economic slowdown, ongoing geopolitical tensions, and the rapid rise of new technologies.

We have analysed the 2023 year-end reports of 26 banks in 12 European countries to understand better the impact of financial turbulence and ongoing geopolitical crises on their Expected Credit Losses. This study is the eighth in its series and follows from previous editions of the report since its launch in 2020.
