The 2010 and 2011 EU stress tests that failed of Laiki Bank and Bank of Cyprus- origins of the banking crisis in Cyprus

07/16/2011

The two Cyprus banks passed the EU's 2010 stress tests, and passed them again in 2011, going on to give out dividends and increase their exposure to Greece, even as Greece faced a deepening financial crisis. The two banks increased their holdings of Greece's bonds by $1 billion in 2010, according to EU regulators, and took on more risks. The EU stress tests looked at how the banks would do in deteriorating economic conditions but did not consider the possibility of losses from sovereign government bonds.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
