The ESAs call for vigilance amid rising geopolitical and cyber risks
March 31, 2025--The three European Supervisory Authorities (EBA, EIOPA and ESMA -the ESAs) today published their Spring 2025 Joint Committee update on risks and vulnerabilities in the EU financial system, which focuses on the challenges linked to geopolitical tensions and cyber risks.
The ESAs warn that growing geopolitical tensions and rising cyber risks present significant challenges to financial stability.
These include trade disputes, rapidly shifting policies, ongoing international conflicts and the prospect of economic fragmentation which are reshaping global markets, requiring heightened vigilance and adaptability from supervisors and financial entities alike.
Financial institutions must navigate growing uncertainties, including exposure to international markets, liquidity risks and the evolving role of artificial intelligence (AI). Ensuring resilience in the face of these developments is crucial.
