There was a significant drop in the average return on assets (ROA) of the EU banking industry in 2020, which was caused by the poor economic conditions due to COVID-19. The ROA of the banking sector in 2020, however, remained well above the value measured during the global financial crisis in 2007 and 2008, and the euro area recession in 2012. As the economy stabilized after the pandemic, so did the ROA of the banking industry, which stood at 0.7 percent at the end of 2024, the highest value during the observed period.
