ECB has not sought access to Panama Papers

"The ECB has not sought access to the...'Panama Papers'," Nouy said in a letter responding to a member of the European Parliament.

"The ECB is, nevertheless, committed to cooperating with national competent authorities in monitoring developments closely and taking action where appropriate."

One of the banks mentioned in the leaked documents, Cyprus's RCB Bank, formerly known as Russian Commercial Bank, is directly supervised by the ECB.
