Central banks’ profits and losses: where do they come from?

Does a central bank make profits and losses? How do they come about? And what was our financial position at the end of 2022?

Our host Katie Ranger puts these questions to press officer William Lelieveldt on The ECB Podcast.

The views expressed are those of the speakers and not necessarily those of the European Central Bank.
