FRANKFURT May 31 (Reuters) - The most important banks in the euro zone should be supervised by a supranational watchdog rather than just national authorities, European Central Bank Executive Board member Joerg Asmussen said on Thursday.
"The most direct solution would be to build a supervisory authority in the euro zone for the biggest, systemically most important banks, maybe 25 or so," Asmussen said in a closed-door event organised by Atlantik-Bruecke in Frankfurt.
An ECB spokesman confirmed the quote to Reuters.
