FRANKFURT, Jan 31 (Reuters) - The European Central Bank will 
publish the results of a stress test of Greece's four largest 
banks in May to allow time for any capital shortfall to be 
filled before Greece leaves its bailout programme in August. 
    "In order to complete the test before the end of the third 
European Stability Mechanism stability support programme for 
Greece, the timetable will be accelerated and the results are 
expected to be published in May," the ECB said. 
    The announcement confirms a Reuters report published in 
November. Test results for the remaining 33 lenders from other 
euro zone countries will be published on Nov. 2.
