Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government how much exposure the European Central Bank has to Greece; and what is the current value of its equity and reserves.
This question was answered on 15th July 2015
The European Central Bank’s (ECB) exposure to Greece is limited: approximately €27 billion of Greece’s estimated €317 billion debt is owed to the European Central Bank.
In January 2015, the capital of the ECB coming from the national central banks of all EU Member States (i.e. its equity) amounted to €10.8 billion.
In May 2015, the ECB’s reserve assets and other foreign currency assets amounted to €68.8 billion Euros.
