  • NBG announced the successful completion of the 2025 EU-wide stress testing exercise, led by the EBA and conducted in cooperation with the ECB and national supervisory authorities. Under the commonly applied methodology, in the adverse scenario, the CET1 ratio at the end of 2027 was just 0.5 basis points lower than at the start of the exercise, marking the 2nd best result among the 51 significant institutions directly supervised by the SSM, and the 5th best among the 64 banks in the overall EBA sample. Within the domestic banking sector, NBG ranked as the top performer.
    This outcome highlights NBG’s resilience to shocks and its ability to maintain strong capital levels, even under conditions of severe economic stress. It also reflects the success of its NPE deleveraging strategy, the build-up of adequate capital buffers, and the generation of sustainable profitability.
