THE European Central Bank has ordered Portugal's Novo Banco to fill a 1.4 billion euro (S$2.14 billion) hole in its finances, possibly delaying its planned sale and hampering Lisbon's efforts to draw a line under its biggest banking collapse.
The request to repair Novo Banco, created from the failed Banco Espirito Santo (BES), presents a challenge for any anti-austerity, Socialist-led government that could come to power in coming weeks after a parliamentary vote last week.
