Since January 1, 2015, banks have been required to maintain at least 60 percent of their portfolios in high-quality liquid assets (HQLA), ensuring sufficient liquidity during stress periods lasting up to 30 days. This requirement increased by 10 percent annually until reaching 100 percent in 2019. In the last quarter of 2024, all European countries had successfully met this threshold. Malta led with the highest liquidity coverage ratio at 380.6 percent, followed by Lithuania at 354.1 percent and Cyprus at 338.8 percent.
