The European Banking Authority (EBA) published today its Report on high earners for 2022. The analysis reveals an increase of the number of individuals working for EU banks and investment firms who have received a remuneration of more than EUR 1 million. This increase is linked to the overall good performance of institutions, expansion of business and salaries adjusted for inflation.

In 2022, the number of high earners receiving a remuneration of more than EUR 1 million increased by 19.7%, from 1 957 in 2021 to 2 342 in 2022. The EBA’s analysis also includes data on the gender distribution among high earners, highlighting a persistent gender imbalance within the financial sector, and particularly the highest paid positions.
