Norwegian banks will not be saved again...

"Norges Bank" (Bank of Norway) recently ran a stresstest on on 149 Norwegian banks to check their liquidity in times of crisis.

The results are shocking, as this test reveals that 120/149 banks will not withstand another credit crunch if they at the same time experience a loss of about 5% of customer deposits due to bankruns.

The message from Norges Bank is clear: "We will not save these banks again!"

It looks like nothing was learned from the ever so mild credit crunch we experienced.

But that wasn't exactly news, was it?
