ECB Stress Test Explanatory Note

State Street Bank Luxembourg is a subsidiary of State Street Corporation, an international financial services and bank holding company headquartered in Boston.

This 126-page report presents the results of the European Central Bank’s annual stress tests and details the methodologies used to generate the results. A close-up detail of euro paper currency is featured on the cover, reflecting the subject matter and suggesting close examination. The same detail, transformed into a subtle pattern on a dark blue field, appears as a full‑page background on the cover and on section dividers throughout the report. It is also used as the background for the document’s running head.

The same design, featuring detail from a higher denomination banknote, was used for a follow-up report published by the Bank, the 302‑page Recovery Plan.
