In order to make sure that Spain's banking system keeps on moving, the European Stability Mechanism has provided the country with an aid package worth 39.5 billion euros.

For now, not many details have been revealed about the distribution of the money. But, it has been said that 17.96bn euro will be given to Bankia, 5.43bn euros will go to Novagalicia and 4.5 billion euros will be transferred to Banco de Valencia.
There are a number of other banks, which will also be receiving funding, like the Sareb bank and CatalunyaCaixa. It is said that in return of financial aid, the Spanish Banks will make sure that they operate in tight settings.
