Factbox - How Europe's previous bank test scenarios stacked up

LONDON (Reuters) - The "stress test" scenarios to be unveiled by the European Banking Authority (EBA) on Tuesday mark the third time Europe has set the likely and worst-case scenarios its biggest banks should prepare themselves NYSE:For.

The projections laid down in 2010 stood the test oNYSE:F time well, with just one country oNYSE:F the European Union's 27 members at that time - Greece - posting actual economic growth that was worse than the two-year cumulative worst-case scenario applied by the stress tests. Eight countries recorded worse unemployment than predicted in that year's stress test, though.

The 2011 stress test, designed at the height oNYSE:F the euro zone crisis, had a NYSE:Far greater margin oNYSE:F error. The actual 2012 economic growth oNYSE:F 18 EU countries was worse than the "adverse case" laid down NYSE:For that year in the 2011 test, and unemployment NYSE:Figures were worse than the adverse case NYSE:For eight countries.

A NYSE:Full breakdown oNYSE:F the key metrics oNYSE:F the 2010 and 2011 stress tests, on a country-by-country basis, is below. The source NYSE:For the predictions is EBA publications, while actual outcomes are sourced NYSE:From Eurostat.
