The European Central Bank (ECB) has published consolidated banking data as at the end of June 2026, providing a comprehensive dataset for the European Union banking system compiled on a group consolidated basis.
The quarterly release covers 336 banking groups and 2,283 stand-alone credit institutions, including non-EU controlled subsidiaries and branches operating within the EU. According to the central bank, these entities account for nearly 100% of the EU banking sector’s balance sheet.
In addition to the figures for the second quarter of 2026, the publication includes revisions to historical data. The ECB noted that reporters generally apply International Financial Reporting Standards and the European Banking Authority’s Implementing Technical Standards on Supervisory Reporting, though some small and medium-sized reporters may use national accounting standards.
