Your team
You will be part of the Directorate General Macroprudential Policy and Financial Stability. Our Directorate General has approximately 100 staff providing analysis and policy advice on issues relating to financial stability, non-bank financial intermediation, financial regulation and macroprudential policy.
In particular, we identify and measure systemic risks for banks and non-banks and we develop and assess financial regulation and macroprudential measures. We are looking for trainees to work in the Systemic Risk and Financial Institutions Division, the Market-based Finance Division, the Financial Regulation and Policy Division and the Macroprudential Policy Division.
In the area of systemic risk and financial institutions, we analyse developments in the euro area/EU financial system, including its banking sector from a systemic risk perspective. We also coordinate the production of the ECB’s Financial Stability Review and we design, assess and propose structural macroprudential policy measures for systemic banks.
In the area of market-based finance, we assess and mitigate systemic risks arising from the activities and behaviour of non-bank financial intermediaries. We also assess financial stability risks in financial markets and coordinate the Directorate General’s market intelligence activities. We enhance understanding of how market-based finance interacts with monetary policy and contribute to the ECB’s work on sustainable finance and climate-related financial stability risks.
In the area of financial regulation and policy, we analyse regulatory policy issues from a financial stability and financial integration perspective. We conduct impact analyses on regulatory developments and we contribute to European and international discussions on regulatory and supervisory issues. We also contribute to the ECB’s work on sustainable finance, non-bank financial intermediation and the structural transformation of the financial system caused by the development of private digital money (such as crypto-assets and stablecoins).
In the area of macroprudential policy, we assess country-specific cyclical and structural risks within the financial sector and beyond it, including the household, corporate and real estate sectors. We assess national macroprudential measures to address the identified risks and prepare analyses to inform the activation of macroprudential measures by ECB as envisaged by Art 5 of SSM regulation.
In your role as a trainee, you will be part of a team of approximately 20 members of staff responsible for policy-relevant analysis, model development and the coordination of the ECB’s views on the issues mentioned above. You will work closely with our experts, contributing to projects that are relevant to the division to which you are assigned.
The ECB is an inclusive employer and we strive to reflect the diversity of the population we serve. We encourage you to apply irrespective of age, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, race, religious beliefs, sexual orientation or other characteristics.
