EU - Oct 29

According to the European Central Bank, 25 of Europe's 130 biggest banks have failed a review of their finances, requiring an extra €10 billion to be protected against any future crises. The landmark review measured the worth of banks' holdings, subjecting the banks to a stress test to simulate how their finances would fare in the event of economic downturn. Among those flagged in the review, none were from Germany or France. Source: WSJ, Al Jazeera
