Abstract

The fifteenth anniversary of the creation of the European Systemic Risk Board (ESRB) provides an opportunity to take stock of how this body has functioned. Created in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, the ESRB’s mission is to prevent and mitigate systemic risk, i.e. the risk that disruptions impact the entire European financial system. It has therefore deployed a common framework for analysing these risks and helped to mitigate them by alerting national authorities to new threats (real estate risk in 2019, non-bank finance, for example). The ESRB now needs to adjust its approach by focusing on work with global implications while making greater use of the contributions of its members to optimise its operational efficiency. It must also take more account of all the risks likely to affect financial stability, including long-term trends (e.g. demographic and technological trends). Le quinzième anniversaire de la création du Comité européen du risque systémique (European Systemic Risk Board – ESRB) permet d’établir un bilan du fonctionnement de cette instance. Créé après la crise financière de 2008, l’ESRB a pour vocation de prévenir et d’atténuer le risque systémique, c’est-à-dire le risque que des perturbations affectent l’ensemble du système financier européen. L’ESRB a ainsi déployé un cadre commun d’analyse de ces risques. Il a également contribué à les limiter en alertant les autorités nationales sur de nouvelles menaces (le risque immobilier en 2019, la finance non bancaire, etc.). Désormais, l’ESRB doit ajuster son action, en se concentrant sur les travaux ayant une implication globale tout en s’appuyant davantage sur les contributions de ses membres afin d’optimiser son efficacité opérationnelle. Il doit aussi mieux prendre en compte l’ensemble des risques susceptibles d’affecter la stabilité financière, y compris les tendances à long terme (démographiques ou technologiques par exemple).
