Eurobank Ergasias Services and Holdings S.A. (Eurobank) announces that it successfully completed the 2023 EU-wide Stress Test (ST), which was coordinated by the European Banking Authority (EBA) in cooperation with the European Central Bank (ECB) and the European Systemic Risk Board (ESRB).
The ST does not have a pass/fail threshold. Nevertheless, the results of the ST exercise are used by the ECB as an important source of information in the context of the Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process (SREP).
Eurobank has significantly improved its results and resilience to stress under the adverse scenario compared to the ST 2021 exercise.
The following figures summarize the performance of Eurobank under the Baseline and Adverse scenarios of the ST 2023 exercise. The starting point of the exercise is the financial and capital position of the Group as at 31/12/20221. The ST horizon covers a three-year period until the end of 2025.
Under the Baseline scenario, the Fully Loaded CET1 capital adequacy ratio increases by 360bps over the 3-year ST horizon, reaching the level of 18% at the end of 2025.
Under the Adverse scenario, the Fully Loaded CET1 ratio decreases by 220bps at the end of 2025 and it stands at 12.2%. The following table presents a comparison of the adverse scenario results between the ST 2023 and the ST 2021 exercises.
