The IMF, the EU and the ECB granted an extension to the Greek authorities for the stress test on the health of banks. The news was reported by the Financial Times, according to which the decision to postpone the application of the stress test by one month to the end of October was agreed between the three international institutions and the Greek Central Bank. Last May, the EU, IMF and ECB passed a 110 billion Euro bailout plan for Greece in exchange for radical austerity measures from Athens’ authorities. The Financial Times deems that the postponement implies that bank results, nine months after the beginning of the fiscal year, can be adjusted in view of the 1.7 billion Euro liquidity requirement by October for Greece’s National Bank , the national leader in the credit sector.
