Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 13 January 2026
825. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Finance for a breakdown of market assets pledged by Irish banks to the ECB as collateral by Government securities, asset-back securities, corporate bonds, banks bonds etc. [74057/25]
View answerWhile the Central Bank of Ireland collects data on market assets held by Irish banks that have been used as collateral with the ECB, this data is not published given its commercial sensitivity. However, I am informed by the Central Bank that the ECB publishes a quarterly breakdown of pledged collateral at Eurosystem level - www.ecb.europa.eu/mopo/coll/charts/html/index.en.html. This data is not available at jurisdiction level.
Eurosystem borrowings at country level are published by the ECB on a monthly basis and are included in the disaggregated financial statements data - www.ecb.europa.eu/press/annual-reports-financial-statements/wfs/dis/html/index.en.html. As at 28 November 2025, Eurosystem borrowings drawn in Ireland amounted to €1million.
