EU-wide stress test results will be published on 26 October

The European Banking Authority (EBA) would publish the 2014 EU-wide stress test results on Sunday 26 October 2014. The stress test, which assesses the resilience of EU banks to a hypothetical adverse macroeconomic scenario, uses a common methodology developed by the EBA, and applies it consistently across all participating banks.

With up to 12,000 data points per bank disclosed, it will provide an unmatched level of transparency into the EU banking sector. Simultaneously, the European Central Bank (ECB) would be publishing the results of its Comprehensive Assessment (CA).
