July 29, 2016 Banco Comercial Português informs about Stress Test results

Banco Comercial Português, S.A. ("BCP") informs that the European Banking Authority (EBA) has published today the results of the 2016 EU-wide stress test, which has involved a significant sample of banks in the European Union, and disclosed the outcomes for 51 banks, of which 37 are directly supervised by the ECB, covering 70% of banking assets in the euro area.

The EBA-led stress test was conducted in articulation with the ECB. Besides the coordination of the exercise, the EBA was responsible for running the exercise for the major banks in the Euro Area. ECB has conducted a parallel stress test for additional significant banks under its supervision, including BCP.

No minimum capital threshold to which the banks have to comply with was set, but the stress tests results will be taken as an input for the overall 2016 Supervisory Review and Evaluation Processes (SREP). The minimum 5.5% CET1 ratio (phased-in) required in 2014 was kept as a reference in the adverse scenario.

As regard the Portuguese banks, the adverse scenario consisted of an economic recession, together with deflation, increase in unemployment, increase in public debt yields and massive real estate devaluation:
