[ECB Considers Special Review of Data Center Loans] The European Central Bank (ECB), the Eurozone's top banking regulator, is considering a special review of data center-related loans to assess potential risks from market sentiment and valuation volatility in artificial intelligence (AI). Sources familiar with the matter told Bloomberg that senior ECB officials have raised this review proposal internally and in discussions with banks under its supervision. Global regulators are tightening their scrutiny of banks' AI-related risks as market concerns about rising interest rates and growing opposition to data center construction could put pressure on the rapidly expanding data center lending sector. One source indicated that the review might take the form of on-site inspections, focusing on how banks assess future cash flows and collateral value, and how they set aside provisions for potential defaults.
