Under the SSM, introduced in 2014, the European Central Bank (ECB) was granted a supervisory role to monitor the financial stability and central control of over 6,000 credit institutions in the Eurozone. Under the SSM, banks face a new set of challenges to meet new supervisory standards beyond those of their national supervisors.
