Infos

Central banks have become part of our modern life. Understanding their operations and policies is important, even to a layperson. At the core of their mission is financial stability. The stress test is one of the tools that Central Banks (or monetary authorities) use to assess how sound commercial banks are within their jurisdictions at any point in time. Bank stress testing is designed to test the resilience of banks to severe but plausible shocks. These scenarios are conceived around a fall of asset prices, a shock to interest rates, a reassessment of risk premiums or a large depreciation to correct an external imbalance. Nonetheless, passing a stress test does not provide a blind assurance that a financial institution is safe and outside the reach of collapse. This book aims to educate on the risks tested and the methods often used in stress testing. It is the first book in its field to make a comprehensive and up-to-date analysis of stress testing, including climate risk.
