MILAN – The spotlight is on Italy’s troubled banks as regulators prepare to release the results Friday of stress tests of EU lenders that will show how much money the country’s financial sector, the most troubled in the region, needs to avoid rekindling a eurozone crisis.
Banks in several countries could be shown to be financially weak, but Italy’s are under particular scrutiny as they still lumber under 360 billion euros ($400 billion) in loans that aren’t being repaid.

On the eve of the stress test, Monte dei Paschi’s board confirmed that it had rival proposals to save the world’s oldest bank. They reportedly involve the sale of non-performing loans and raising capital. Shares soared 7 per cent to 0.31 euros on opening Friday.
