2011 results

The results for the 2011 exercises were published on 15 July. Eight out of 90 banks failed the test -- five in Spain, two in Greece and one in Austria. Spain also is one of the leading countries in the list of approved banks (20), because it put up almost all of its financial sector (95 percent, against an average of about 60 percent).

The test is controversial, because Spain and Germany have complained the stress tests excluded dynamic provisions recognized by local regulators. In fact, a German bank didn't pass the test but they refused to publish its data and therefore it is not included in the official list.
