Macrofinancial Stress Testing - Principles and Practices

IMF paper on seven best practices for stress testing

International Monetary Fund paper proposes seven "best practices" principles for stress testing: i) define the institutional perimeter for the tests; ii) identify all relevant channels of risk propagation; iii) include all material risks and buffers; iv) make use of the investors' viewpoint in design of stress tests; v) focus on all risks; vi) when communicating stress test results, speak smarter, not just louder; and vii) beware of the "black swan". While principles focus mainly on stress tests conducted for macrofinancial surveillance purposes, they also apply to stress tests undertaken for other purposes, such as microprudential oversight and institution-specific assessment.

HKMA Supervisory Policy - Stress-Testing

HKMA policy on its proportionate supervisory approach to stress-testing by banks

Hong Kong Monetary Authority policy sets out key elements of an effective stress-testing program and describes its supervisory approach to assessing the adequacy of bank stress-testing practices. HKMA uses a proportionate approach when assessing stress-testing programs. Small and less complex banks should utilize qualitative assessments to complement simple sensitivity and scenario analyses of specific risk types to which they are most exposed. Large and complex banks should undertake more extensive and sophisticated stress tests.

Stress-Testing Macro Stress Testing: Does It Live Up to Expectations?

BIS working paper assessing strengths and weaknesses of macro stress testing

Bank for International Settlements working paper reviewing state of the art in macro stress testing, and assessing its strengths and weaknesses. Argues that, given current technology, macro stress tests are ill-suited as early warning devices, i.e. as tools for identifying vulnerabilities during seemingly tranquil times and for triggering remedial action. By contrast, as long as properly designed, stress tests can be quite effective as crisis management and resolution tools. Identifies additional side benefits, stemming largely from the way such tests can discipline thinking about financial stability and suggests ways to improve their performance.
