Kutxabank, Spain's most solvent bank according to the European Central Bank
The organization far exceeds the European average in resistance tests, eta leads the main capital and leverage indicators in the Spanish financial sector.
Kutxabank has once again been recognized as the most solvent bank in the Spanish financial system and one of the strongest in Europe, according to the 2025 Stress Test report prepared by the European Central Bank in collaboration with the European Banking Authority and the European Systemic Risk Commission.
During the year, the resilience of 109 European financial institutions has been analysed in the face of a bad macroeconomic situation projected for 2025-2027, and Kutxabank has managed to have a CET1 fully loaded ratio of more than 14%, well above the European average (11.8%) and the minimum required (7.68%).
In addition, the bank has recorded a 19.7% CET1 phased in ratio until June 2025 and consolidated its leadership in solvency in the Spanish financial system. Fully loaded leverage ratio exceeds 6%, the highest in the state, compared to 8.8% today.
The stress test has taken into account what would be a particularly negative context for Spain: that the unemployment rate should exceed 16%, that GDP should fall by 4%, that the price of housing should fall by 17% and that IBEX-35 contributions should fall by 51%.
Kutxabank recalled that these results are based on a static balance sheet hypothesis and do not include profit forecasts or future management actions.
