Decisions taken by the Governing Council of the ECB (in addition to decisions setting interest rates)

On 24 June 2026, the Governing Council of the European Central Bank (ECB) made several important decisions. These decisions included the publication of the 2026 ECB Convergence Report, the approval of the 2025 Bank Treasurer Survey Report, and the integration of portfolios of non-financial corporate loans into the Eurosystem general collateral framework.

The report assessed progress made towards euro adoption in several countries, while the survey provided insights into banks' liquidity management. The integration of NFC credit claims into the collateral framework marked the return to a single list of eligible collateral across the euro area. The ECB also published the indicative operational calendars for 2027 and 2028, as well as the operational parameters for the enhanced Eurosystem repo facility for central banks.

Additionally, the Governing Council decided to extend the use of climate factors in the collateral framework to non-financial corporate credit claims and took note of progress on key milestones of the digital euro project.
