Summary and findings
- Bank liquidity stress testing remains underdeveloped compared to solvency stress testing.
- Liquidity shocks are infrequent but can have a severe impact on affected banks and financial systems.
- Adequately identifying, modeling, and assessing the impact of liquidity shocks is complicated by:
- data limitations, and
- interactions among multiple factors.
- The paper provides a conceptual overview of liquidity stress testing approaches for banks and discusses their implementation by IMF staff in the Financial Sector Assessment Program (FSAP).
Implementation in FSAPs
- The paper discusses implementation by IMF staff in the Financial Sector Assessment Program (FSAP) for countries with systemically important financial sectors over the last six years.
- Focus is on practical application of liquidity stress testing approaches within FSAPs for systemically important financial systems.
Challenges and considerations highlighted
- Data limitations that constrain identification, modeling, and assessment of liquidity shocks.
- Complexity arising from interactions among multiple factors affecting liquidity outcomes.
- The relative infrequency of severe liquidity shocks complicates calibration and validation of stress scenarios.
