(1) The head of the European Banking Authority (EBA) stated that European banking regulators are conducting additional reviews regarding the risks associated with the trillions of euros in sovereign bond portfolios held by banks. (2) According to the official, as the yields on government bonds in some core European countries have soared to multi-year highs, the government debt investment portfolios held by banks require enhanced monitoring. (3) Currently, the relevant risk exposures still appear to be "within controllable ranges."

(5) He said, "So far, we have not seen banks suffer significant losses as a result of the current situation, and we are confident that regulators are taking the necessary responsive measures."
