ECB Supervisor Warns Against Easing Bank Regulations

Sharon Donnery, a member of the European Central Bank's supervisory board, has urged that any relaxation in bank regulation should be kept to a minimum. This warning comes nearly two decades after the financial crash, which led to increased scrutiny and stricter regulations for banks.

In an interview, Donnery emphasized the importance of maintaining stringent lending standards, stating that any let-up should be 'minimal as possible'. Her comments reflect concerns that easing regulatory pressure could lead to reckless behavior and increase the risk of another financial crisis.
