8 Banks Fail Stress Test

Out of 91 banks the European Banking Authority found 8 banks lacking the means to avoid another financial crisis.

The Telegraph notes that 5 Spanish banks, 2 Greek Banks and 1 Austrian bank had failed.

This news, coupled with their other findings of 16 banks in the 'danger zone, is very worrying for the banking industry.
