“A bank-by-bank test of financial stability due on Friday is expected to conclude that Spain’s lenders are dangerously over-burdened with toxic debts and need to be recapitalised, restructured or shut down. The stress test is expected to show a dramatic deterioration since the previous tests were carried out at the beginning of the summer which suggested a €60bn cash injection would be the worst-case scenario. Last week, the Bank of Spain said bad debts at Spanish lenders had risen to record levels, with almost one in 10 loans in arrears. It is the highest bad-loan ratio since central bank records began in 1962.”
