This study quantifies the impact of geopolitical risk on euro area banks using the 2025 EU-wide stress test, the first to include an explicit geopolitical scenario. Comparing outcomes with earlier stress tests, we find that geopolitical shocks measurably erode capital ratios, with smaller and less diversified banks most affected and considerable heterogeneity across countries. The results highlight how stress testing can capture structural vulnerabilities and inform supervisory responses through Pillar 2 requirements and Systemic Risk Buffers within the Banking Union framework.

Geopolitical tensions have emerged as a major source of macro-financial instability, with conflicts, sanctions, and global rivalries introducing risks that differ from traditional credit or market shocks. These events are difficult to anticipate and propagate through financial markets, the real economy, and operational channels, often amplifying into systemic consequences. Recent research shows that banks reallocate rather than withdraw—cutting cross-border lending but maintaining affiliate activity—while capital requirements calculated at consolidated level may transmit foreign shocks to domestic credit supply. Stronger capital buffers cushion these effects. Overall, major geopolitical shocks raise funding costs, weaken bank stability, and disrupt financial infrastructure, underscoring the need for robust governance, releasable buffers, scenario-based supervision, more coordinated micro and macro prudential regulation, and overall strengthened international coordination.
