The European Central Bank said Friday that the bank is closely monitoring financial markets and is in close contact with other central banks after the U.K.’s surprise decision to leave the European Union.
“The ECB stands ready to provide additional liquidity, if needed, in euro and foreign currencies,” the bank said in a statement on its website.
“The ECB has prepared for this contingency in close contact with the banks that it supervises and considers that the euro area banking system is resilient in terms of capital and liquidity.”
The bank will continue to fulfil its responsibilities to ensure price stability and financial stability in the euro area, the ECB said.
