Dear Tsvetan,
 
As discussed today, please find attached further questions on banking sector issues for your upcoming mission:
 
  1. Following the recent EBA recapitalisation exercise of the largest banking groups, how do you assess the current capitalisation of Austrian banks.
  2. Can you please provide an update on the recent developments concerning KA Finanz, Kommunalkredit and Hypo Alpe Adria. In this respect, what is your assessment on the capital needs of Hype Alpe Adria and KA Finanz going forward? What is the latest state of play concerning the sale of Kommunalkredit?
