In the wake of the global financial crisis, banking regulators across jurisdictions are emphasizing the use of stress testing of financial institutions as a supervisory tool to avoid repeat of such crises in the future. The stress testing approaches differ by jurisdiction and financial institution, but are all intended to provide regulators and bank management with a picture of how financial institutions will fare under different stress scenarios, and what steps must be taken to prepare for, and to mitigate, those possible scenarios.

This teleconsultation will discuss the evolution of the U.S. Federal Reserve System’s stress test program since 2009, targets for the quality and level of capital needed by banks, the role of bank supervisors in setting those targets and requiring action to achieve them, and some of the high-level findings and “lessons learned” by the Federal Reserve in this ongoing supervisory process.
