On March 2, 2015, the EBA issued a press release stating that it will not carry out an EU-wide stress test in 2015, but will instead be preparing for the next exercise in 2016. The EBA will however carry out a transparency exercise in 2015 which will provide data on the balance sheets and portfolios of EU banks.
