In this post we will be covering 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.

Simple Sensitivity Analysis Liquidity shocks

The stress test for liquidity risk evaluates the resilience of the banks towards the fall in liquid…

As part of the stress testing procedures of the bank’s Internal Capital Adequacy and Assessment Process (ICAAP) we will be looking at how shocks are applied to various elements of the original profitability analysis to determine their impacts on the profitability of the bank’s loan portfolio.

Profitability Analysis Stress Test

The profitability will be stress tested by applying shocks to various elements of the profitability analysis as described earlier. The impact…

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.

How to stress the transition matrix

The transition matrix stress test is based on a sector wide or industry wide…

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.

How to carry out a Profitability Analysis

Profitability analysis consolidates the impact of rating transitions, worst case scenarios, cost…

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).

How to determine expected classification rate

Expected classification is calculated using the following…

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.

Transition matrix stress test

We will first consider some preliminary calculations before we discuss the transition matrix stress tests.

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.

Fall in FSV of mortgaged collateral:

In this case the impact of a 10%, 20% and 40% decline in the Forced Sale Value would be analyzed. The tax-adjusted impact of the additional required provision will be calibrated…

One forward looking aspect of the Internal Capital Adequacy and Assessment Process (ICAAP) is the stress testing of all risk factors in order to arrive at the capital requirements for the worst case scenario. Stress testing also allows the bank to plan and prepare for unexpected situations that may arise in the future. In this and the following two posts we will look at some of the stress tests…
