The European Central Bank is carrying out a deep-dive analysis of four banks that it may start to supervise directly, it said.


The lenders are Italy's Banca Mediolanum, the Irish unit of U.S. lender Citigroup, Slovenia's Abanka and Latvia's Rietumu Banka.

The "comprehensive assessment" includes a review of the quality of the assets on the banks' balance sheet and a "stress test" checking their resilience to shocks, the ECB said.
