Artificial Intelligence enables the real-time analysis of economic indicators, says Executive Board member Piero Cipollone. This helps central central banks make more timely policy decisions. AI offers multiple opportunities for central banks and the economy as a whole, but the right ecosystem must be in place, alongside appropriate safeguards. We are also monitoring the impact of AI on productivity, the labour market and financial stability, as well as its implications for cost pressures, the natural rate of interest and monetary policy transmission.

🎓 The first edition of the SSM Foundation Programme, which is part of the SSM training partnership with the Florence School of Banking and Finance, successfully concluded in Florence. This six-month journey into supervisory culture within the Single Supervisory Mechanism (#SSM) has been truly transformative for the 45 participants. Throughout the programme, participants acquired essential supervisory knowledge and skills through interactive sessions and thought-provoking discussions led by experts and high-level speakers from the European Central Bank and other leading Institutions.  The last week of the programme ended with a series of impactful events, including the Capstone Group Assignment presentations, where participants showcased their comprehensive understanding of supervisory topics and collaborative spirit. We were honoured to host the Graduation Ceremony, where Claudia Buch, Chair of the Supervisory Board, awarded certificates to mark the participants' achievements. Her speech underscored the importance of continuous learning and working together to shape the future of European banking supervision. 👏 Congratulations to the first cohort of the SSM Foundation Programme!
