The EBA publishes the results of its 2025 EU-wide stress test
The European Banking Authority (EBA) today released the results of its 2025 EU-wide stress test involving 64 banks from 17 EU and EEA countries and covering 75% of EU banking sector assets. The results confirm that European banks remain resilient even under a severe hypothetical economic downturn. The simulated scenario involves a sharp deterioration in the global macro-financial environment, driven by a resurgence in geopolitical tensions, entrenched trade fragmentation, including increase in tariffs, and persistent supply shocks. EU banks, despite bearing losses of EUR 547bn, maintain strong capital positions and their capacity to continue supporting the economy.
