The Supervisory Board of the European Central Bank (ECB), led by Andrea Enria, met this Friday in an extraordinary way to assess the situation in the financial markets and the banking sector after the recent turbulence, as confirmed by the issuing institute.

"The Supervisory Board meets to exchange views and update members on recent developments in the banking sector," an ECB spokesman said.

The banking supervisor's meeting comes just a day after ECB President Christine Lagarde defended the soundness of European banks and expressed the central bank's readiness to provide liquidity if needed.

This type of 'ad hoc' meetings of the supervisor is common when there are very rapid changes in the situation and, according to knowledgeable sources, it would have already met earlier this week, after the intervention in the United States of the banks Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and Signature Bank.
