Stock and Market Views


LONDON/MADRID: Seven European banks would not be strong enough to withstand another recession and would face a capital shortfall of 3.5 billion euros ($4.5 billion), tests run in an attempt to revive investor confidence showed on Friday.

Five of Spain's smaller regional lenders, known as cajas, failed the test and their recapitalisation is likely to speed a restructuring of the troubled sector.

Banks in Germany and Greece were also seen as weak spots and in need of restructuring, but state-owned Hypo Real Estate was the only German lender to flunk and state-controlled ATEbank was the only Greek bank to fail.

Analysts had expected five to 10 banks to fail the test. As expected, no big banks failed the health check. German government bond futures hit one-month lows and the euro briefly pared its losses against the dollar after the results were released.

Europe tested how 91 banks would cope with another recession and losses on government debt after the Greek crisis hit markets and raised fears the euro zone could unravel. It aimed to repeat a health check on US banks last year that helped restore investor confidence and underpinned a recovery by bank shares.

India to become a $5 trillion economy soon


AGPUR: US Consul General Paul Folmsbee on Friday said that the Indian economy has the potential to grow further and is likely to touch the $5 trillion mark in the near future.

"The Indian economy is growing fast and from the present $1.2 trillion, it is expected to become a $5-trillion economy very soon," Folmsbee, said without specifying a particular time frame while addressing management students at G S College of Commerce here.

The Consul General, who was in the city today for a seminar on 'Indo-US relations' also emphasised on the need for both countries to focus on vital issues like energy crisis, technology transfer, climate change, higher education and small as well as medium enterprises.

On the higher education scenario, particularly at the University level, Folmsbee said many US varsities were in the process of setting up their establishments in the country with Columbia University already establishing its institution in Mumbai.

On his first visit to the orange city, Folmsbee said he was here to study the issues of regional interest.
