This report has been prepared by the SSM Network of Enforcement and Sanctions Experts to present comprehensive statistics on sanctioning activities carried out in 2023 by the ECB and the national competent authorities (NCAs) of European Union (EU) Member States participating in the Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM) in relation to breaches of prudential requirements.

The report looks at formal sanctioning proceedings conducted by competent authorities within the scope of their respective powers, providing data in particular on the administrative penalties that were imposed for breaches of prudential requirements on supervised entities, other legal persons and natural persons falling within the scope of prudential supervision in the context of the SSM.

The report presents aggregate statistics for the whole of the SSM. Data have been collected and compiled using standardised categories to ensure that information is harmonised and comparable.
