HICAGO, May 9 (Reuters) - The Federal Reserve reduced the
size of capital deficits facing several banks before releasing
the results of "stress tests" on the financial institutions,
the Wall Street Journal said on Saturday.
The changes came
after days of negotiations with the banks,
it said. The Federal Reserve used a different method than
analysts and investors had expected to calculate the required
capital levels.
U.S. regulators told top banks on Thursday to raise $74.6
billion
to build a capital cushion officials hope will restore
faith in financial companies and set a course out of the
deepest recession in decades.
The results of the tests -- which involved more than 150
regulatory officials poring over the books of
the 19 largest
companies -- effectively drew a line between healthy and weak,
and quantified exactly how much those institutions struggling
under the weight of souring loans must raise.
At least half of the banks pushed back against the
preliminary findings of the tests, the Wall Street Journal
said, citing people with direct knowledge of the process.
Citigroup's <C.N> capital shortfall was reduced to $5.5
billion from about $35 billion after bank executives persuaded
the Fed to
include future capital-boosting impacts of pending
transactions, the paper said.
Wells Fargo's <WFC.N> shortfall was cut to $13.7 billion
from from $17.3 billion and Fifth Third's <FITB.O> was reduced
to $1.1 billion from $2.6 billion.
