Two Banks Fail Stress Tests but Taxpayers Safe
Ljubljana, 26 October - The two largest Slovenian banks, the state-owned NLB and NKBM, narrowly failed European Central Bank (ECB) stress tests designed to check banks' resilience to economic shocks. However, the shortfall is small and the banks will be able to offset it with retained profit, without requiring public funds.
