ICAAP: Stress Test: Liquidity Risk

We cover some of the ways in which liquidity risk may be stress tested under the Internal Capital Adequacy and Assessment Process (ICAAP). These involve simple sensitivity analysis techniques, such as applying liquidity and interest rate shocks to the assets and liabilities of the bank.


ICAAP: Stress Test: Market Risk

We will cover some of the ways in which market risk can be stress tested under the Internal Capital Adequacy and Assessment Process (ICAAP). These involve simple sensitivity analysis techniques, such as applying interest rate and equity shocks, as well as Worst-Case MTM Stress Tests.


ICAAP: Credit Risk: Stress Test: Profitability Analysis Stress Test

A look at how stress test shocks are applied to various elements of the profitability analysis to determine their impacts on the profitability of the bank’s loan portfolio.


ICAAP: Credit Risk: Stress Test: Transition Matrix Stress Test

In this post we discuss one way of stress testing a rating grades transition matrix. The stressed transition matrix will then be used in the other credit risk quantification calculations. The revised results will be compared to the original credit risk quantification calculations to determine the impact of the stress test.


ICAAP: Credit Risk: Stress Test: Profitability Analysis of a bank’s loan portfolio

In this post we will go through the step-by-step methodology of carrying out a profitability analysis of the bank’s loan portfolio. This in itself is a kind of a stress test for credit risk under the Internal Capital Adequacy and Assessment Process (ICAAP) as it also computes a worst case profitability scenario.


ICAAP: Credit Risk: Stress Test: How to Determine Expected Classification Rates

In this post we will consider how to derive expected classification rates for “current” customers of a loan portfolio. This is used to calculate the expected “current” customers who will be classified within the next period, which will in turn be used in the quantification process of credit risk under the Internal Capital Adequacy and Assessment Process (ICAAP).


ICAAP: Credit Risk: Stress Test: How to construct a Transition Matrix

One way of stress testing credit risk under the Internal Capital Adequacy and Assessment Process (ICAAP) is to stress test the rating grades transition matrix. In the post below we will first look at how a rating grades transition matrix is constructed.


ICAAP Compliance: Credit Risk: Stress Test: Simple Sensitivity Analysis – Fall in Forced Sale Value (FSV) of mortgaged collateral

One way of stress testing credit risk under the Internal Capital Adequacy and Assessment Process (ICAAP) is to consider percentage falls in the Forced Sale Value (FSV) of mortgaged collateral which is discussed below.


ICAAP Compliance: Credit Risk: Stress Test: Simple Sensitivity Analysis – Increase & Shift in NPL

Earlier we had looked at one way of stress testing credit risk under the Internal Capital Adequacy and Assessment Process (ICAAP). We will look at some simple sensitivity analysis for credit risk below, focusing on stressing non-performing loans (NPL).


ICAAP Submission: Credit Risk: Stress Test: Non – Performing Loan (NPL) Stress Test

Stress testing of all risk factors in order to arrive at the capital requirements for the worst case scenario for credit risk.
