### Overview and scope
- Much of the work of the FSAP was conducted prior to the COVID-19 outbreak.
- The risk and vulnerability analysis integrates the original work with a quantification of the impact of the COVID-19 crisis on bank solvency under two separate scenarios.
- The original "market shock" scenario explores additional risks that feature less prominently in the COVID scenarios.

### Main analytical elements
- Integration of pre-COVID FSAP analysis with COVID-19-specific stress scenarios.
- Two separate COVID-19 crisis scenarios used to quantify impacts on bank solvency.
- A distinct "market shock" scenario retained to capture risks not emphasized in the COVID scenarios.
