ECB contacted Spanish banks after the Catalan referendum vote

So says Bloomberg citing El Confidencial 3 Oct

They in turn cite "unnamed industry sources"

  • ECB was in touch with main Spanish banks yesterday to inquire about possible impact of situation in Catalonia

Seems like a perfectly sensible thing to do.

  • given that there have not been any significant movements by account holders or bank clients the ECB has not summoned any official meeting or made special requests
  • neither of Catalonia's two banks Caixa and Sabadell contemplate independence as a realistic outcome but both banks have contingency plans

Meanwhile EURUSD 1,1707 just off session lows
