Overview of the webinar
Stress-testing, as practiced in most institutions, is much too often hijacked by regulatory necessity: to improve one’s standing for the authorities, or by reputational necessities: to reassure the public. Hence, it seldom turns out to the useful exercise it can be.
We provide a few pointers at how a stress-testing exercise can be improved by a choice of scenarios, and provide a few criteria for finding and selecting appropriate scenarios.
