In accordance with Article 9(1) of European Central Bank Regulation (EC) No 2157/1999 (ECB/1999/4), the ECB must publish any decision imposing sanctions in case of a breach of an ECB regulation or decision on its official website without undue delay, once the decision has become final in accordance with Article 3(8) of Council Regulation (EC) No 2532/98, in conjunction with Article 7(2) or (3), respectively, of Council Regulation (EC) No 2531/98.

Pursuant to Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 2532/98 and Article 7(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2531/98, in case of non-compliance with the application of minimum reserve requirements, a sanction is applied by the relevant national central bank on behalf of the Executive Board of the ECB. These sanctions are imposed on institutions for breaching their obligation to hold the required level of minimum reserves. As such, the sanction amount is calculated in accordance with the formula set out in Annex I to Decision (EU) 2021/1815 of the European Central Bank (ECB/2021/45), so that it is based on the amount which the institution concerned failed to hold as minimum reserves during a given maintenance period.

In case of sanctions imposed pursuant to Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 2532/98 and Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 2531/98 for breaches of other obligations related to minimum reserves, further information is included in an accompanying document linked above.
