The Transparency of the European Central Bank in the Single Supervisory Mechanism

Not least due to the relatively short period of existence of the Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM), the transparency of the European Central Bank (ECB) in the SSM has not attracted significant attention from legal scholarship. This contribution seeks to close this gap to some extent by mapping out the ECB’s transparency regime within the SSM and illustrating, where relevant, the notable differences not only with the transparency regime applicable in the area of monetary policy, but also the general transparency regime of the EU.
