Abstrakty

W artykule podjęto próbę odpowiedzi na pytania, czy Europejski Bank Centralny (EBC) jako nowy bank centralny został wyposażony w odpowiednie kompetencje i narzędzia, aby skutecznie wspierać stabilność systemu finansowego oraz jaka rola w tym zakresie przypada narodowym bankom centralnym w strefie euro. W tym celu omówiono następujące zagadnienia: zmiany instytucjonalne w bankowości centralnej wynikające z powołania EBC, prawne uwarunkowania stabilności finansowej w Eurosystemie, system operacyjny i polityka informacyjna EBC jako instrumenty stabilizacji rynku finansowego w strefie euro, organizacja nadzoru bankowego i zarządzanie sytuacja kryzysową w Eurosystemie. Terminem Eurosystem określa się strukturę instytucjonalną, którą tworzy EBC wraz z bankami centralnymi państw obszaru euro.

In practice, however, the ECB has at its disposal a number of instruments that may be effectively used to support the stability of the financial system. These include the complex operational system, where fine tuning operations play a particular role. Information policy of the ECB is also of great significance. It constitutes an important instrument of the central bank, which exerts a steadily growing influence on the stability of the financial system, both in the context of normally operating markets, as well as under conditions of potential threats to the financial system stability. It is worth emphasizing that a number of tasks intended to support the stability of the financial system are implemented in the Eurosystem in a decentralised way - at the national level. Among them is, i.a. the banking supervision. Doubts or even criticism arise around the Eurosystem ability to meet challenges that may follow on a financial crisis in the euro area. Decentralised supervision over the banking system, and the fact that in a number of the Eurosystem Member States supervision is carried out by institutions that are independent from the Central Bank result in a situation where the ECB has a limited access to information of supervisory character. This above is of utmost importance in terms of crisis management in a banking system. Moreover, due to the
