Rather than capital shortfalls being the problem as I see it the issue is future growth of their balance sheet. Without a firm capital base these banks will continue to underperform in terms of growth. For an economy to grow it requires its banks to grow as well. There's likely to be a continuing reluctance for investors to invest ordinary capital in these banks as the dividends they pay in the near future are unlikely to reflect the full risk/reward ratio. As consequence they will continue to act as a drag on their respective national economies.

The report also states: total shortfall of 25 billion euros ($32 billion), most of which has since been raised by banks
AND
they have 9 months to fill the residual shortfall
this to my mind rather than the capital shortfall is the issue
The stock of bad loans in the euro-area banking system now stands at 879 billion euros, the report said.
Italian banks will have to implement the largest asset-value adjustments according to the findings of the review, equivalent to 12 billion euros. Greek banks will have to revalue by 7.6 billion euros, and German banks by 6.7 billion euros, the report showed.
so using some basic maths the question is where is the balance of approx. 850 billion. cos if that is mainly in the UK then I can see EurGbp being the trade

why do you think that the demand for the new capital would come from outside the Euro area creating an FX flow. It is much more likely to come through M&A within the borders.

Stress tests come out much as leaked on Friday. Depending on how, and in what time-frame the new EUR 25bln in capital is raised, there could be extra EUR demand. This should not be a big surprise to the banks in question. Otherwise, I don't see much in trading implications for the new week. Does anyone have another view?
