Mar. 30, 2015 9:17 AM ETHSBC Holdings plc (HSBC) StockHSBC, BCS, SAN, LYG, SCBFF, NWGBy: Stephen Alpher, SA News Editor
  • Unlike last year's stress test which focused on a U.K. property bust, this year's version deals more with how banks would handle a global economic slowdown and market tumble, suggesting lenders like HSBC, Standard Chartered (OTCPK:SCBFF), and Barclays (NYSE:BCS) could have a tougher go of it.
  • The seven lenders tested will have to maintain a CET 1 ratio of 4.5% and a leverage ratio of 3%.
  • Also to tested: RBS, Lloyds (NYSE:LYG), Santander U.K. (NYSE:SAN), and Nationwide Building Society.
  • Results are due in December.
