In European Central Banking Law: The Role of the European Central Bank and National Central Banks under European Law (Palgrave Macmillan 2020), I provide a comprehensive overview of European Union (EU) – central banking law, on the basis of a functional approach. My ultimate objective is to systematically present and analyse the role of the European Central Bank (ECB) as a monetary and banking supervisory authority in the euro area. In addition, I highlight the role of the ECB in macro-prudential financial oversight and in relation to the resolution of credit institutions, as well as its limited (but still important) powers in respect of last-resort lending to solvent EU credit institutions exposed to liquidity risk. Its related tasks and powers are presented in the light of its interaction with national central banks (NCBs) within the Eurosystem, the European System of Financial Supervision (ESFS) and the two mechanisms – pillars of the Banking Union (Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM) and Single Resolution Mechanism (SRM)) participated in by the ECB and the NCBs.
