  "account": "European banks' cost of capital has risen to 12% from 11% in the last month, according to FactSet. Santander has a cost of capital of 12.4% and BBVA has 11.6%. The increase in the French 10-year bond yield above 5% has raised concerns about a possible contagion risk to other European countries' debt. The cost of capital for European banks has historically ranged from 8% to 18%, and experts currently do not foresee a worsening of the situation.",
