MarketWatch reported The Association of Spanish Banks said Friday that all of Spain’s large and domestic banks have passed the stress tests, including Banco Santander and BBVA. However, five savings banks in Spain, which are unlisted, failed under the most adverse test scenario.
And, there are reports that Greece’s ATE Bank failed the stress tests
