About Us
Our Mission: Protecting Financial Stability and Security in Europe
At European Financial Institutions (EFI), our main mission is to guarantee the financial stability and security of the banking system throughout the European Union. We realise that in an ever-changing world, it is essential that citizens can rely on price stability and the security of their financial assets.
Price Stability: Ensuring Value for Money
One of our core responsibilities at EFI is to ensure that prices in the euro area remain stable. Price stability is vital because it allows you to maintain the purchasing power of your money over time. In other words, what you can buy with your money today will be roughly the same as what you can buy tomorrow, in a year’s time or at any time in the future.
To achieve this stability, we continuously monitor the European economy and adjust our policies as necessary to keep inflation under control.
Our approach aims to create a predictable and reliable economic environment where businesses and consumers can plan their financial future with confidence.
Banking System Security: Protecting Your Money
As well as maintaining price stability, EFI plays a crucial role in protecting the European banking system.
We work tirelessly to ensure that banks within the European Union operate in a safe and sound manner, protecting citizens’ deposits and maintaining confidence in the financial system.
We do this through rigorous supervision and regulations that oblige banks to maintain adequate levels of capital and properly manage risks. We also establish standards and practices that promote transparency and accountability, ensuring that your money is protected against financial crises.
Our Commitment to European Society
EFI is more than a financial institution; we are a guardian of economic stability and financial security for all European citizens. Our work directly affects the economic well-being of millions of people, and we take this responsibility very seriously.
We are committed to building a future where all citizens can enjoy financial security, with the confidence that their money is safe and their purchasing power is protected. This commitment is what guides all our actions and decisions, from formulating monetary policies to supervising the banking system.
Working for You
On a day-to-day basis, EFI operates with the aim of creating a robust and stable financial environment. Whether through our monetary policy or our supervisory measures, every decision we make is guided by our mission to protect the economic well-being of everyone in the European Union. We work so that you can be sure that your money is safe and that your financial future is in good hands.
