Banks prepare for the results of government ‘stress tests’
The day of reckoning is at hand for banks required to undergo government “stress tests.” Today federal regulators will meet with the leaders of the nation’s biggest banks to tell them how they did. Banks have until early next week to dispute the results, which will be released to the public on May 4. Eric Dash, who writes about banking for the New York Times, joins The Takeaway with a look at what the tests are likely to reveal and what the results will mean for the recovery of the economy.
