Home / Latest News / Press releases / Joint Institutional Declaration of the AEB and CECA Associations

The AEB and CECA associations express our commitment to the Constitution and the current legal framework, and our full confidence in the capacity of said legal framework to resolve the situation caused by the declaration approved last Friday, October 27, by the Parliament of Catalonia.
The financial institutions integrated into the AEB and CECA are subject to Spanish and European regulation, as well as the supervision of the Bank of Spain and the European Central Bank. They are equally committed to complying with the laws emanating from our constitutional framework. Being part of the Banking Union allows them to fulfill their primary mission, which is to protect and manage depositors’ savings and finance growth.
The best way to consolidate the recovery of the economy and employment in Catalonia and the rest of Spain is the continuity of the collective effort that, based on the Constitution and the Statute of Autonomy, has made possible our coexistence in freedom, Spain’s presence in Europe, and the greatest period of economic and social progress in our common history.
