《欧洲央行罚了1218万，这事真不止钱》 ——连续五年的"少报风险"，比罚单本身更刺眼 一家全球最会算账的银行，被罚1218万欧元。 不是爆雷，不是亏损，而是"报表算轻了"。你说巧不巧。 为什么这事严重。因为RWA不是技术参数，而是资本要求的地基。权重低一点，资本占用少一点，利润表就顺眼一点。短期ROE更漂亮，长期安全垫却更 薄。"大而不倒"不可怕，"大而不透明"才危险。 更耐人寻味的是时间跨度。五年，足够一轮经济周期。连续偏差说明的不是手滑，而是合规链条的松动。想象监管官员翻到第15个季度同样错误时的表情 ——这已不是偶发，是态度。 有人会问，千万欧元算多吗。对巨头不致命，但声誉成本远高于罚金。在全球"去风险化"与穿透式监管常态化的当下，这张罚单更像信号弹：规模没有豁免 权，透明才是硬通货。 金融世界最贵的不是罚款，是信任。账可以做轻，风险不会变轻。 （唐加文，笔名金观平；本文成稿后，经AI审阅校对） 问题出在风险加权资产。2019年至2024年，连续15个季度错误分类企业风险敞口，21个季度排除了部分交易。结果很简单：风险被压低，资本充足率被抬 高。就像给体检报告开了美颜滤镜，指标好看了，身体却没变。监管 ...
