Europe's bank stress tests

Europe's stress tests: As 25 banks are found wanting, we ask how they will raise the needed capital, and whether the tests failed to take account of the risk of deflation.

Europe's stress tests: With the results of the latest examination of banks' balance sheets in, 25 lenders have been found wanting. But how will they raise the needed capital? And have the tests missed what some claim to be the biggest risk facing the eurozone - deflation?
Tanya Beckett gets the detailed results from the 91热爆's Andrew Walker, and asks Wim Mijs, head of the European Banking Federation, what the continent's banks are going to do about them. In the studio, we hear the slightly more skeptical views of two independent analysts - the financial blogger Frances Coppola, and Peter Hahn, finance lecturer at the Cass Business School.
Also in the programme, the FT's Lucy Kellaway explains why, when it comes to personal organisation, she prefers dead trees to digital.
