The European Banking Authority (EBA) has today published the results of the stress tests of 70 European Union credit institutions. The European Central Bank (ECB), following criteria consistent with those applied in the EBA exercise, has conducted a parallel stress test on another 41 euro area medium-sized significant institutions.
Eight Spanish banking groups participated in the EBA-coordinated exercise: Santander, BBVA, CaixaBank, Sabadell, Bankinter, Unicaja, Abanca and Kutxabank.
The significant Spanish institutions subjected to the EBA and ECB stress tests demonstrate sound resilience and maintain satisfactory capital levels under the adverse scenario, despite it being more severe than in the previous exercise.
