Risk management

The EIB vehemently disputes the criticism that its risk management isn’t up to scratch – a criticism contained in Emac’s draft report but removed from the final version. At the end of last year, it put all its risk management functions in its risk management directorate, headed by Pierluigi Gilibert.

“Our risk appetite is relatively low,” says Gilibert. Everyone at the bank has to work within its credit, market, and operational risk guidelines, as approved by the management committee.
