Italy's Monte dei Paschi shares suspended after 'stress tests' BBC, October 27, 2014

Trading in shares of Italy's Monte dei Paschi and Carige banks has been suspended after sharp falls.
Monte dei Paschi's shares dived 17% in early Monday trading after it emerged that it was the worst performer in official stress tests.
In all, 24 of 123 banks failed the European Banking Authority (EBA) tests, designed to find out if they could withstand another financial crisis.
Share prices in most EU banks are down following publication of the results.
Lloyds Banking Group shares fell 2.3% after it narrowly passed the tests.
All UK bank shares - Barclays, RBS, HSBC, Standard Chartered and new joiner TSB - are lower.
Monte dei Paschi bank was founded in 1472 for the purpose of granting loans to "poor or miserable or needy persons".
A handful of the strongest remain higher.
Austria's Erste Bank, Raiffeisen and Germany's Commerzbank were all up 5% at the start of trading, although Commerzbank fell back to stand 1% higher.

Financial health

The health check by the EBA was based on the banks' financial health at the end of 2013.
No UK banks failed the EBA tests. Of the 24 banks that did fail, 10 of them have taken measures to bolster their balance sheets in the meantime.
There are 14 banks that still need to raise more capital. Four are Italian, two Greek, two Belgian and two more Slovenian.
Also on Sunday, the European Central Bank (ECB) carried out an overlapping survey of 130 eurozone banks.
The ECB said 25 banks had failed its test, but 12 of those had already taken remedial action.
The ECB's total is higher than the EBA's because of Spain's Liberbank, which passed the stress test but failed the ECB's Asset Quality Review.
