Parliament adopted its annual report on the Banking Union for 2024, setting out its position on the state and future of the EU's banking framework.
The report stresses the need to complete the Banking Union, notably by establishing a European deposit insurance scheme, and to boost the competitiveness and profitability of EU banks.
It calls for better access to financing for households and businesses, and for reducing regulatory hurdles that hamper cross-border banking.

This resolution on the Banking Union annual report 2024 acknowledges progress made through the Single Supervisory Mechanism and Single Resolution Mechanism, but notes the Banking Union remains incomplete without a European deposit insurance scheme.
