Representing the locally focused banking model
An advocate for a proportionate approach to banking rules, ESBG unites at EU level some 871 savings and retail banks
Advocating for a diverse banking sector
Pluralism and diversity in the European banking sector safeguard the market against shocks that arise from time to time, whether caused by internal or external forces. Members seek to defend the European social and economic model that combines sustainable economic growth with high living standards and good working conditions.
Supporting a single market subsidiarity
ESBG members support the development of a single market for Europe that adheres to the principle of subsidiarity, whereby the European Union only acts when individual Member States cannot sufficiently do so
Forming positions on regulation
ESBG members come together to agree on and promote common positions on relevant matters of a regulatory or supervisory nature.
