The overall level of systemic risk in EU securities markets decreased throughout 4Q12, as conditions in equity and bond markets improved. Since mid-December, systemic risk has remained stable. Notwithstanding monetary policy support, the underlying sources of market uncertainty remain in place. Market clustering and fragmentation, funding risk, the low interest rate environment and obstacles to orderly market functioning remained important sources of uncertainty for EU financial stability. The recent restructuring of one national banking sector underlined the continued prevalence of the sovereign debt and banking crisis as a source of risk. On this basis, our outlook on liquidity, market and contagion risks remains unchanged.
