Is stability your thing too?
Stability is our thing
At the ECB what we do for you is stabilise prices and keep banks safe. Because everyone needs stability. And when there’s stability, it’s easier to craft your future, the way you want.
We’re your ECB, working for your euro and your future. We’ve created our own Instagram filters, including “Mint your coin” which makes you the face of the euro.
And some of our ECB colleagues, the faces behind the euro, volunteered to explain what stability means to them.
Meet some of our staff and discover why stability is their thing
Beatriz, Business Process Coordinator for the European Systemic Risk Board (ESRB)
I help address and prevent risks to the financial system by coordinating the publication of documents and reports. I work for stability every day. It gives me a sense of belonging and I am proud to contribute to a mission that’s relevant to the daily life of all of us.
Josip, IT Expert for ECB Banking Supervision
I look after IT systems used by our banking supervisors to check the health of European banks. By making sure our systems work smoothly and reliably, I’m supporting a stable financial system and a stable Europe for us all.
Emma, Senior Management Assistant in the ECB Communications team
I raise awareness of the ECB’s commitment to stability through public communication projects like this campaign. You might also see me in the Visitor Centre when you visit us. As I am balancing various tasks, stability is essential for me.
