Santander and BBVA seek favourable capital treatment from ECB, Cinco Dias reports

Spanish lenders Santander and BBVA are negotiating with the European Central Bank (ECB) to get a more favourable capital treatment for their holdings in insurance businesses, Spanish newspaper Cinco Dias reported on Thursday.

The article from Reuters, published on March 27, 2025, discusses how Spanish banks Santander and BBVA are seeking favorable capital treatment from the European Central Bank (ECB). According to the Spanish newspaper Cinco Dias, these banks are requesting adjustments to the ECB's capital requirements to better reflect their risk profiles. This comes in light of the banks' efforts to manage their capital more efficiently amidst regulatory pressures and economic conditions. The banks argue that the current capital rules do not adequately account for their specific business models and risk management practices, potentially putting them at a competitive disadvantage. The ECB has not yet responded to these requests, but the outcome could significantly impact how these banks operate and compete within the European market.
