Key Quotes
"We are left with very limited capital need beyond a handful of special cases. There will be some interesting bank specific work outs in store in
the coming weeks."
"However, overall the ECB are painting a reassuring picture of the banking system. There should be no burden on credit supply from the AQR/ stress test, and now credit demand needs to show up."
"Conclusion: Positive for equity, fundamentally disappointing on credit due to limited capital raising."
