In an attempt to make the financial sector more resilient with regard to crises in general, the CRR’s newly introduced minimum liquidity standards seek to ensure banks’ liquidity at any given point in time.
The cooperative banks’ networks accounts for a material share in the credit supply to the households and SMEs. For the purpose of balanced liquidity regulation, EACB would like to draw the attention to a number of issues which deserve dedicated attention, such as:
- Cooperative banking networks liquidity systems;

- Covered bonds as Level 1 assets;
- Treatment of retail deposits;
- Bonds from regional governments and local authorities;
- Cap on Level 2 assets;
- Internal flows and derogations from the inflow cap.
