EU watchdog to publish bank stress test results on October 26

LONDON (Reuters) - The European Banking Authority said the results of a pan-European Union health check of 123 banks will be published at 1200 central European time (0700 EDT) on Oct. 26.

The aim of the stress test is to help draw a line under a banking crisis that has sapped investor confidence in the resilience of lenders to withstand future shocks.
