European banks are healthy again













Even if a new crisis set in, the European banks would resist. The results of the stresstests the European Central Bank has done by 22 European banks are apparently satisfying. The majority of the participating banks would keep upright even if the real estate market decreased suddenly, the unemployment figure was more than 10% or if the economic development was negatif. Despite they would lose 400 billion euro, they will still have enough capital to weather the crisis.
