On January 31st, 2018, the European Banking Authority (EBA) and the European Systemic Risk Board (ESRB) released the macroeconomic scenarios for the EU-wide stress tests to evaluate the resilience of banks to adverse market developments. Results are expected to be published by November 2018.
Banks are requested to estimate what the potential impact on their profits and capital may be under an adverse macro-financial scenario. The adverse scenario is set out by EBA-ESRB, starting from a baseline defined by the National Central banks.
The scenario covers three years, starting from the first quarter of 2018 (when the shocks are assumed to materialize) and ending in the last quarter of 2020.The macro-financial variables included in the scenario are commodity prices, exchange rates, foreign demand, stock prices, interest rates, GDP, inflation, unemployment, residential and commercial real estate
The outcome of the exercise, as was the case for the 2016 Stress Test, will feed into the 2019 SREP requirements. There will be “no pass or fail” outcome based on a target level of CET 1 ratio triggering the need to implement remedial actions.
The exercise must follow precise and restrictive assumptions outlined in the EBA methodological notes so that the simulation has no relevance in terms of giving forward-looking indications to investors.
The methodology covers all relevant risk areas and, for the first time, will incorporate IFRS 9 accounting standards. The starting point for the exercise is the end-of-year 2017 balance sheet, restated to reflect the full IFRS9 effect.
