ECB’s Stournaras: Many eurozone banks underestimate credit losses due to pandemic

European Central Bank (ECB) policymaker Yannis Stournaras said on Friday that there is a widespread view that many eurozone banks underestimate credit losses due to the coronavirus pandemic, as reported by Reuters.

“The asset quality of European lenders will be in the epicentre of supervisory action this year,” Stournaras further added.
