Stress tests 2021

2021 EU-wide stress test results

The European Banking Authority (EBA) published the results of the 2021 EU-wide stress test of 50 banks.

The aim of the EU-wide stress test is to assess the resilience of EU banks to a common set of adverse economic developments in order to identify potential risks, inform supervisory decisions and increase market discipline.

The EU-wide stress test is coordinated by the EBA and carried out in cooperation with the European Central Bank (ECB), the European Systemic Risk Board (ESRB), the European Commission (EC) and the Competent Authorities (CAs) from all relevant national jurisdictions.

 

Banks individual results

(1) Some banks have filled row 74 in template “TRA_CAP” (Total Additional Tier 1 and Tier 2 instruments eligible as regulatory capital under the CRR provisions that convert into Common Equity Tier 1 or are written down upon a trigger event) with zeros although they had issued such type of investments. This information represents a memo item and it has no impact on the computation of capital ratios or the expected capital depletion at the end of the Stress Test horizon.
