Summary

This paper presents assessment results for the current state of the implementation of the Basel Core Principles for Effective Banking Supervision (BCP) in Spain.

The core supervisory process at the Banco de España (BdE) is strong and is supported by qualified staff and an experienced cadre of inspectors, but there are areas of concern.
