ECB's Wunsch resists proposal to raise bank charges

Original: ECB's Wunsch pushes back on proposal to increase bank charges

European Central Bank official Pierre Wunsch has spoken out against a proposal to increase charges imposed on banks. The Belgian central banker, who sits on the ECB's governing council, pushed back on the plan, according to Reuters. The proposal would raise fees for lenders, and Wunsch's intervention signals disagreement within the eurozone's banking oversight about how much banks should pay.

Why now: Fresh comments from a senior ECB policymaker on bank fees have drawn immediate coverage in financial media.
