European authorities Friday released results showing EU banks
largely passed a round of government stress tests, with just a few
institutions found to need modest amounts of new capital.
Out of 91 banks, just seven failed the tests: Germany's Hypo
Real Estate Holding, ATEbank (ATE.AT) in Greece and five small
Spanish regional banks, failed the tests.
But the overall strong grades--awarded to a banking system that
for the last several months has lurched from crisis to
crisis--raised questions over whether the month-long tests were
tough enough to be judged credible.
