 Diversity in banks is crucial for effective governance. It leads to greater stability, greater efficiency and even greater returns. Female representation across banks in Europe has gradually improved over the last six years. The share of female managers in the largest banks have increased from 15 to 27 percent. Still, we aren't equal. And further up the ladder, only 8 percent of the chief executive officers of the European banks are women. On top of this, research also shows women are still less paid than their male colleagues while doing the same job. Gender diversity in banks born will be one of the supervisory priorities in the years ahead. We'll look at the suitability of banks born and take measures to enhance gender diversity. Diversity within the banks' boards leads to better discussion, then it leads to better decision making and makes the banks more resilient. That's why we support women in finance, strive for a gender-balanced banking sector and a more inclusive financial system for all of us.
