Response to the European Commission’s consultation on the revision of the State aid rules for distressed banks
A consistent application of the European crisis management framework is essential to ensure financial stability when a bank becomes distressed. In this context, the European Commission’s control of State aid plays an important role in coordination with Member States and resolution authorities. In its consultation response, Danmarks Nationalbank emphasises that State aid to banks should remain a clear and exceptional measure, used only when necessary to address a serious disturbance in a Member State’s economy and where no other options are available. Such an approach is crucial to support a robust crisis management framework and thereby safeguard financial stability.
