LISBON, March 24 (Reuters) - ECB Governing Council
member Mario Centeno said on Friday Europe's banking system was
not demonstrating signs of growing financial tensions seen
outside the euro zone, although it was not completely isolated
due to interconnections.
"I don't see these signs (of growing tensions)," he told a
news conference, adding though that the ECB was constantly
monitoring financial stability.
Banking stocks fell sharply again on Friday, with European
giants Deutsche Bank and UBS knocked by worries that regulators
and central banks have not yet contained the worst shock to the
sector since the 2008 global financial crisis.
