stress-testing

To design an ICAAP stress test, structure adverse scenarios and project year-by-year CET1, RWA, and NII impacts. This process quantifies capital depletion under stress and outlines necessary management actions to maintain capital adequacy and buffer requirements.

Regulatory stress testing under Pillar 2 frameworks involves identifying capital needs by applying adverse scenarios across jurisdictions like PRA, ECB, and Fed. It maps test outputs to regulatory templates to inform capital planning, liquidity considerations, and risk appetite.

Projecting CET1 and RWA impacts requires executing year-by-year capital projections under adverse scenarios. A 3-year stress test determines CET1 sufficiency, tracks RWA growth, and calculates potential MDA triggers under a deep recession.

When stress scenarios trigger potential MDA thresholds, management actions must address capital depletion through buffer restoration and risk appetite adjustments. The framework outlines action plans to support capital planning and liquidity considerations under adverse conditions.

Yes, the framework supports scenario design across multiple jurisdictions. It aligns test outputs with Pillar 2 frameworks including PRA, ECB, and Fed, satisfying regulatory requirements for capital projection templates and management-action considerations.
