Risk aversion is bad for euro-zone banks

Share prices of euro-zone banks have fallen markedly since the level of risk perception started to rise significantly (in March 2018). This development shows that risk aversion is bad for euro-zone banks: It drives down long-term interest rates and flattens the yield curve; It pushes up the premia that the banks pay on their bonds; It may lead to a permanent situation of negative interest rates on excess reserves.
