"ABI will follow every path possible, including the legal one, to oppose the EBA's decision", Giuseppe Mussari told a banking conference in Rome. EBA's assessment of banks' capital requirements was "wrong in its method and its conclusions, and does not take account of the specific factors affecting Italian banks", Mussari was quoted as saying by Italian news agency, ANSA. EBA raised capitalisation requirements for European lenders on Thursday in view of the spreading debt crisis, forcing banks to mark-to-market eurozone debt in their portfolios. "This puts banks that have always bought sovereign bonds in great difficulty", said Mussari.
