National is planning to have its own capital increase of 1.6 billion euros by the end of the month – i.e. the precise level of its capital requirements according to the baseline scenario of the European Central Bank's exercise – while expecting a boost of 780 million euros in shares from its bond swap plan. The adverse scenario has put its needs at 4.6 billion, so the remaining 2.3 billion euros will be covered by the Hellenic Financial Stability Fund (HFSF), mainly in contingent convertible bonds (CoCos) that the bank will pay off in 2016 after the Finansbank sale is completed.
