In Oevag avevano già pronto il comunicato, mandato via mail alle 18.03:
Vienna (15 July 2011) - Oesterreichische Volksbanken-AG (VBAG) participated in the EU-wide bank stress test conducted by the European Banking Authority (EBA). VBAG´s unstressed, baseline core tier I ratio as of 31 December 2010 is 6.4%. In the simulated worst case scenario the core tier I ratio would be 4.5% as of 31 December 2012. This simulation, however, only factors in measures to strengthen capitalization which already were in effect by 30 April 2011. Taking into account the measures that are currently being implemented, the core tier I ratio as of 31.12.2012 is 6.6%. When capital instruments which are loss-absorbing according to the banking law are also fully factored in, the tier I ratio is 9.8%.
Oesterreichische Volksbanken-AG is well capitalized and complies with all requirements according to the Austrian banking law. The tier I ratio has increased continuously since 2009: it was 9.2% as of 31 December 2009, 9.5% as of 31 December 2010 (excluding Europolis) and 9.7% at the end of the first quarter of 2011.

EBA stress test - Volksbank AG
Del resto c'era anche chi si era tirato fuori all'ultimo minuto, non soddisfatto dai criteri utilizzati:
Earlier this week, Frankfurt-based Helaba ruled itself out of the stress test of 91 European lenders after the EBA at the last minute refused to acknowledge an improvement in the quality of its capital. (

"The European stress test has not contributed toward building trust in a sufficient manner," said Heinrich Haasis, head of the association of German savings banks. "Arbitrary benchmarks were applied to achieve political goals."
The Association of German Banks, which represents Deutsche Bank (
DBK.FRA) and Commerzbank (
CBK.FRA), said it was "not comprehensible" that Helaba's improved capital position was not fully taken into account by the EBA when it conducted the tests.
