Europe’s banks have extended almost €200 billion ($268 billion) in loans to Russian institutions and firms, and hold a significant share of Russia’s euro-denominated assets, making them especially vulnerable. Moreover, the eurozone’s current stress tests may well reveal significant capital holes in major European banks in the coming months.
欧洲银行给俄罗斯机构和企业的贷款接近2,000亿欧元，并且持有很大一部分俄罗斯的欧元计价资产，这使它们极易受到冲击。此外，欧元区目前的压力测试可能暴露出欧洲主要银行在未来几个月中可能出现重大资本漏洞。刚刚从深度衰退中走出的欧洲很容易因为金融干扰而重新陷入衰退，特别是考虑到欧元区经济与俄罗斯密切的贸易 和能源联系。
