If the economical growth this year and next would be disappointing, the 22 biggest European banks would be able to withstand a new economical crisis, although they could have a loss up to 400 billion $ all together. Thanks to the governments , who would inject a lot of capital, it would be possible to survive after all. Because of the gloomy scenario that is used, ECB-president Jean-Claude Trichet calls the results “encouraging”. We have to note as well that these aren’t individual results, so the outcome is rather insignificant.

Clear focus on one topic, yet there are some points of confusion:
the positive end of S2 clashes with the use of 'the gloomy scenario' in the beginning of S3;
S4: the 'as well' should be 'yet' or 'however' to mark contrast.
S4: rather insignificant: not the best word choice. It counters the message in S2 too strongly and undermines the importance of the entire post: it's not significant really.
Accuracy:
wrong use of a conditional sentence (no 'would' in the condition part)
difference economic and economical (crucial for a student of economics)
'$400bn' or '400 billion dollars'
The combination of inaccurate language and the occasionel hampered flow makes this post below par.
