“la Caixa” Group, the leading bank in the Spanish financial system, has comfortably passed the stress tests conducted by Oliver Wyman, an independent consultancy firm, under the supervision of Spanish authorities, the European Commission, the European Central Bank, the European Banking Authority and the International Monetary Fund. The bank's surplus in the adverse scenario would stand at 5.72bn euro, with a Tier 1 capital ratio of 9.5%, which is the same level as at the start of the year and 3.5% higher than the minimum of 6%.
