  "account": "The European Central Bank (ECB) has reduced the verification time for fitness and propriety tests for bank directors by over 10%, bringing it below 100 days. The process now takes an average of 97 days, down from 109 days previously. The ECB aims to further improve efficiency and plans to implement new measures in the second half of the year. The bank's Supervisory Board, led by Claudia Buch, is committed to making decision-making faster, risk-based, and efficient. The ECB uses tools such as artificial intelligence, including Heimdall, to accelerate the process and focus on complex cases.",
